The AFL-CIO today launched the “Turn Around America” video competition — its first-ever online video contest — and will feature the winners in television ads in part to engage voters and 2008 political candidates in a national dialogue about what is necessary to get America back on track.
From the President:
I would like to invite you to join me on a march and rally to be held on International Workers Day:
Thursday, May 1, 2008, at 8:00 A.M.
The march will start at the Southgate Shopping Center (I-10 and 6th Avenue)
And proceed north on Sixth Avenue to Armory Park (220 South 5th Avenue) for a rally with speeches and music.
The 1st Annual Golf Tournament held April 19th successfully raised over $1100 dollars for the Community Food Bank.
Congratulations to:
Danniel Yrigolla and his sons for pulling out a low score of 59 to win the tournament
Daniel Yrigolla Jr for longest drive
Bob Hoffman for closest to pin
This local would like to thank all who participated in organizing this event. Without the dedication and help of our rank and file this tournament would have not been successful.

Brothers and Sisters,
There is some new information regarding the issuing of 1099 forms from the union. The 1099 forms are issued to us by the union to report miscellaneous income (i.e. $150 strike checks). However they are ONLY issued if the amount you received was $600 or more! Most of us only received three strike checks totaling $450.
Therefore only members who had duplicate checks dated 2007 will receive them, which is only about 9 members total. In other words, we no longer have to wait to receive a 1099 form before filing our income tax returns!
Local Lodge 933 does not advise on any personal income tax requirements or issues. As with any tax related questions please consult a qualified tax consultant.
