Great job on the mobilization activities. Members in Locals 2004 and 2105 are stepping it up. Remember tomorrow is a “WHITE OUT” on corporate greed and Saturday is the Fighting For Our Future Rally. The Bargaining Committee wants to remind everyone that if you are not at the rally then you shouldn’t be volunteering for overtime on Saturday. Don’t make your Union Brothers and Sisters carry your load. Come out and show Frontier that we are unified and committed to getting a good contract.

Red Squadron: the eagle is watching the big rat in his hole.

SOLIDARITY FOREVER!
