2004 Convention Resolutions

Resolution No. 35

LABOR 2004

            WHEREAS, We have witnessed the most controversial presidential election ever.  We valiantly fought the effort to silence working Oklahomans with a so-called Right-To-Work Law, and right-wing extremists will not deceive us.  We must fight their efforts to cloak their anti-worker, pre-September 11, 2000 agenda in the pretense of patriotism.

            THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That much is at stake for 2004.  Labor must build upon the successes of Labor 2000.  To do so we must: Link politics to organizing by having each union assign a coordinator for each local and each workplace; distribute more than one leaflet a month; maximize member contact through union publications; maximize communication from local Presidents and Business Agents; maximize the impact of union phone calls; maintain an up-to-date membership list; increase voter registration by at least ten percent; organize massive Get-Out-The-Vote efforts.  Through these proven approaches we will elect candidates who share the vision of improving the lives of American workers and the strength of the Labor Movement.
