None of the new delegates listed were present, and the President requested that the Secretary-Treasurer contact the locals about those listed as being delegates. Some of them have been listed for several months.
Bill Wickline, State Employees 15, discussed the informational picket that went on this evening at the Everett Events Center before the Cher concert. Essentially, it stems from the Public Facilities District not recognizing the union contract that Global Spectrum has on the national level with IATSE. Organizing for the audio visual workers is continuing.
Secretary-Treasurer Sells referred the delegates to the minutes of the Executive Board of January 18, 2005, which discussed the IATSE 15 informational picket, the 2005 budget, and Labor Temple parking issues. The Secretary-Treasurer also read the thank you letter from the Martin Luther King, Jr. community commemoration committee.
Puget Sound Labor Agency/Snohomish County Director Suzanne Moreau discussed the money raised at the recent holiday raffle. They were also raising money off the parking this evening from the Cher concert at the Everett Events Center.
The Community Services Committee is recommending a contribution of $250.00 to this year’s community Meth Summit. It was M/S/C to concur.
Organizing: Paul Quaintance, UFCW 1105, noted that the focus is currently on Wal Mart, and efforts to keep it out of the Stanwood community.
It was M/S/C to elect the following slate of officers by acclamation.
Organizing: Teamsters 38, Leonard Kelley reported that the scan co-coordinators at Albertsons had signed cards for union representation. It was 100%. He is also working on north end DHL drivers.

NEW BUSINESS-None
Representative Mike Sells, 38th District, gave delegates an update on activity in Olympia with regards to labor issues. He noted that apprenticeship utilization on public projects would, more than likely, pass quickly out of the House.

Respectfully submitted,
Mike Sells, Secretary-Treasurer
