Retired Worker’s Authorization Form
October 10, 2018 Brian Ginty and the retiree committee held their monthly retiree’s meeting at the Local 88 hall. It is always enjoyable to speak and see the retirees at this meeting. One issue that remains outstanding is the required amount of retirees to sign and return the ” Retired Worker’s Authorization For Check-Off Dues”. I have attached the form for all retirees to sign and return to our Hall at: 364 Victoria Street P.O. Box 158 Ingersoll, Ontario N5C 3K5 In order to become an official Retiree Committee we need to have over a 100 members to be paying dues and these dues are only for the use of the retiree committee events and their members. Dues Check off Form (1)

Goderich mine strike
Retirees. There is a bus going out of Unifor Local 636 on Thursday, June 28 at 9:45 a.m. and then bus will return to Unifor Local 636 around 5-5:30 p.m. We need to go to Goderich and show support to our members there on strike. This is not an ideal time for the miners, as there is no need for road salt until the end of the year. So while scab miners from the U.S. dig out the salt, we are going to have a rally and BBQ with the strikers. As this is a weekday rally, we need as many retirees as possible to help bolster the strikers. Please contact Joe Graves at..joegraves@unifor88.ca in order to secure your seat on the bus. In solidarity Brian
