100TH BIRTHDAY
BIG BASH ON SEPTEMBER 12
 As readers of this Website know, in 2009 Local 174 is commemorating a Century as an affiliated Local Union in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Local 174’s Charter with the IBT was signed on February 19, 1909. Our 100th Birthday has passed, but we’re still going to be doing more Centennial Celebrating later this year.
All Local 174 members and retirees, plus their families, are invited to the events. The first general event — a “Pre-100th Birthday Lunch” — was held February 8 at the Tukwila Teamster Building. It was designed to be a warmup get-together. It was warm, and well-attended.
The year’s commemorations will be capped by a big official “Centennial Birthday Celebration” — which will also be at the Tukwila Teamster Building — on Saturday, September 12. Specific details on the packed agenda of activities that are planned for it will be forthcoming. But for now, all Local 174 members are urged to put that date on your calendar. You won’t want to miss out on the fun.

Delivering Fairness
 (June 15, 2009) “Corporate lobbyists have a time-honored trick of slipping a few words into major legislation just before Congress adjourns. … They almost never help working people. And by the time the public finds out, it’s too late. Twelve years ago, a few last-minute words strengthened FedEx’s hand against unions.”
