PRESIDENT Fixed POST: Ensure USPS has emergency contact info.
WEBMASTER Fixed POST: I am soliciting input from Officers and members.
10/13/19: See Post below for Officer requirements; however, the members as well have a responsibility if they want this website to be a (go to) source for information across the spectrum of union and life and member content. What is it you want to see here? Please identify yourself and branch when you email so that I know to acknowledge the email is coming from a member. Presently, I receive next to nothing from the members; however, I'll look at union face-book accounts and see a plethora of information. I am only the vehicle to place content not the driver. The members are the driving force of this union. So I make this request for the SC union members to get behind the wheel and drive this website for the benefit of our members. Workman's' comp, Health Benefits, Food Drive, EAP, Retirement, contractual, branch pages, healthy Living, member weddings and death notices are but a few areas to consider. And please, give it a little gas.
WEBMASTER FIXED POST:
10/13/19: I have made attempts through Email to encourage our Officers to comply with the By-Laws and submit required articles
Please click here to see the latest attempts. I had planned to make further attempts and pointed efforts with those not in compliance. In keeping with that plan, I will BOLDLY post at year end the number of articles and contributions each officer has submitted to this website for 2019. Also, this report will be given at Convention. If the members at Convention feel this is an egregious violation of Officer responsibilities, then perhaps charges can be prepared ahead of Conventions. I have no plans to submit charges. If those not in compliance do not check the website; then,I request Officers and/or members to contact them so that they know they are in violation. I will not make further attempts. The By-Laws should be followed or they should be changed. I present this now, as there is still time for those non-compliant officers to get with the program. If an Officer submits an article that doesn't get published then I never received the article. Mail the articles, if you don't have internet. I will acknowledge receipt of articles and notify when they are published. There will be no blame to me for no publication.
