Local 828 President Bess Watts reports that earlier today Douglas Moore Jr.,
executive director of United Domestic
Workers Home Care Providers Union(UDW/AFSCME) and an AFSCME International
vice president, opened AFSCME's 40th International Convention and welcomed
delegates to California.
By email, she said, “We were up at
7:00 am pounding the pavement meeting and greeting delegates from all four
corners of the country. California House Rep. Nancy Pelosi took to the stage
later on and gave a spirited speech about fighting back and finding our labor
voice. It was also a day of tributes to outgoing International President Gerry
McEntee.”
Watts added that delegates passed
the convention rules earlier today and had full introductions to all the
International Vice Presidents of AFSCME.
