Secretary -TreasurerŐs Report
Leonard reported on the
Everett 4th of July parade and the labor booths at the Mill Creek
Festival and Festival of the River in Arlington. He added that last year we set
a record for Solidarity Night at the AquaSox with
1403 attending and this year we topped that with 1726 union members attending.
New Business
Leonard reported on the
upcoming Labor Day March and Block Party being held at the Labor Temple. He
announced the list of activities going on that day and shared a commercial
thatŐs being aired on KRKO advertising the dayŐs events. Leonard added that the
IBEW Trailer and the IAM Van will be participating in the march.
Leonard reported that the
executive Board had approved adding Island County to our Charter. He added that
it was brought to his attention that Island County was not listed in the
Jurisdiction of any Labor Council and it only made sense for Snohomish and
Island to work together. To make this happen it needed to be voted upon by the
delegates so before them was a motion and a second coming from the Executive Board
to add Island County to our Constitution, Leonard reported that this would have
to be approved by the AFL-CIO after a vote by the delegates. A vote was held to
add Island County and it passed unanimously.
Jake Morgan,

had endorsed Sid Logan for Snohomish County PUD Commissioner District 1. Jake
read a letter from Sid Logan detailing his experience with organized labor and
asking for an endorsement from the Labor Council. A motion and second were made
to endorse Sid Logan for PUD commissioner was made. The motion will be voted on
at our next delegates meeting. A motion and second was made to endorse Liz Vogeli for Everett City Council. The motion will be voted
on at our next delegates meeting.

support the fire firefighterŐs resolution that was presented at the May
