Career change day almost here
Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 06:57 PM by Omaha Steve

I said several months ago that I was looking ahead to a career change. The long awaited day is at hand. Tuesday night (the 25th) I will be nominated for the full time VP spot of my union (AFSCME) local. Yesterday my local voted on our contract offer. I was the ballot box guard. The congratulations started early. I got lots of good lucks, hand shakes, and we got the right guy type of well wishes.

My office knew a couple months ago that I was in. They dropped a training class for me that had been required. They figured why put me through it when I wouldn't be there this fall.

I work with many good people in both craft and management. Leaving there is the hardest part of this new path.

Once I start working in the office full time, I won't have as much time for the DU for awhile. I'll still find time for a couple posts a day.

8. I may not respond often, but I always look for your posts here.
I'm a firm believer in the necessity of strong unions and I really appreciate your tireless support of organized labor.

Congrats, Steve...you deserve it :)
