On this Labor Day, we can be thankful for the resiliency each and every member of this Union has shown in dealing with the after-effects of this past recession. While there is still much work left to do, we are on the right track to a better and brighter future for members and their families.
\nThis past month of August saw us merge into one union as delegates and leaders from both the transportation and sheet metal industries forged a future together.
\nWe are one and we will not let anything or anyone divide us. The solidarity that binds the members of this organization was evident at the Convention.\u00a0 We returned to our work with a better understanding of each other\u2019s role in representing our members.\u00a0 We will build on our over 270 years of shared history to make this union even stronger in representing the members who make the industries we work in run better every day.
\nYou represent this Union and its high standards each and every day at work.\u00a0 You are what makes this Union great.\u00a0 We pledge to represent you with the same dedication you bring to work every day.
\nOn behalf of your fellow 216,000 SMART members across the United States and Canada, please enjoy a safe and happy Labor Day.
