Be a Part of the Solution!

This Action Assembly is being organized by FAITH, a coalition
partner of the Volusia/Flagler AFL-CIO. City and County officials
will be asked to answer questions about what they are doing to
create and keep good paying local jobs in Volusia County.
As many of you may already know, the Volusia County Council recently voted down a proposal to place a local hiring preference on any projects funded with local tax dollars. This Action Assembly is an important step towards holding our elected officials accountable for their actions.
Please plan on attending and bring a friend!
Good Jobs NOW–Action Assembly
Time:6:30PM Monday,March15th Location:Bethune Cookman University Performing Arts Center
Support Workers’ Rights
by kathypogas on Mar.07, 2010, under General, Volusia/Flagler Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO
IATSE Local 631, the union that represents theatrical stagehands in Central Florida is conducting and informational hand billing at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach. We are distributing handbills to members of the audience as they arrive for the performance. We want the public to know that the City of Daytona Beach, which owns and operates the Peabody Auditorium, has contracted with a non-union company, Sunco Productions, and the stagehands do not receive employer contributions to their healthcare or retirement benefits. After seventy years of IATSE representation at this venue, the stagehands no longer have a collective bargaining agreement or job security. Please come and show your support for workers rights.

Industrial Relations

Reward Responsible Employers
by kathypogas on Mar.01, 2010, under General, Volusia/Flagler Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO
For more information on Responsible Employer Ordinances, email us at info@vfaflcio.org!
We all know that our local economy is suffering. In tough economic times, limited public dollars must be steered toward promoting quality jobs that lift social well being rather than poverty-wage jobs that place an additional burden on our community. The News-Journal’s recent editorial mistakenly presumes that a preference given to local, responsible contractors does not benefit taxpayers. A comprehensive local contractor preference has many benefits for taxpayers, workers and the community. (continue reading…)
Share Your Job Crisis Story, Connect with Activists at Our New Good Jobs Now! Site
by kathypogas on Mar.01, 2010, under Volusia/Flagler Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO
Good Jobs Now!, the AFL-CIO’s new interactive website, gives workers, people who have lost their jobs and activists a chance to take action, share their stories, find resources and, most importantly, be part of a grassroots movement to help the nation climb out of its 10-million jobs hole created by the recession.
Just launched this morning, Good Jobs Now’s! first featured action is a petition calling on Whirlpool Corp., to reverse its decision to close its Evansville, Ind., plant and send work to Mexico, eliminating 1,100 good jobs.
As the AFL-CIO’s Good Jobs Now! mobilization heats up in the coming weeks, you will be able to find events in your area so you can join the growing movement demanding that lawmakers focus on job creation and hold corporations like Whirlpool and big Wall Street banks accountable for their economic damage.
