(August 28, 2008)Are you looking for something to do on Labor Day, which is on Monday, September 1 this year? There are three nearby free Union picnics. Traditionally in our so-called modern days, most Union families just have a festive meal, watch some sports on TV, and enjoy a day off from work. But traditionally in older days, the Labor Day Holiday had much deeper meaning to Union folks.Cleanscapes Organizing
(August 25, 2008) Last Fall, a new player in the local Sanitation Industry, CleanScapes, Inc., won the bid for the sanitation contract in Shoreline. The previous employer doing collection in Shoreline was Waste Management and the work was covered by a Union contract. If you see the CleanScapes trucks, please welcome your new Brothers to Local 174!

(August 22, 2008) There was a lot of commotion at the JC-28 Building in Tukwila yesterday from about noon until about 5 p.m. The parking lot was jammed and about 450 guests of Local 174 were packed in the Main Meeting Hall and a second smaller meeting room due to the overflow crowd. It was all for a vote by the Todd Shipyard workers on whether they wanted to ratify or turn down their proposed new tentative agreement. 
(August 18, 2008) The complex and confounding Oak Harbor Freight Lines bargaining stalemate continues. The Union negotiating team met with Oak Harbor management's negotiating team for a second time on Monday, July 28, 2008. Little of significance has happened since then. The negotiations are stalled, and the sides are now in mediation. Involved Local 174 members and others can read about the latest developments on the new Oak Harbor website.
