Tonights Gonna Be A Good Night - First Union Meeting For IBEW Local 363 MCC Newburgh



Tonight is the first meeting of the IBEW Local 363 MCC Newburgh workers! Look at how far we have come in the last 6 months! Tonight we eat, celebrate, talk, laugh, plan, discuss, learn, teach, share, bond, prepare, breathe, reflect and look forward.

Spread the word. Come and be part of the union and the process of getting ready to negotiate and feel how good it feels to have your input count. Everyone is welcome to come but no one is forced to come! THESE ARE NOT CAPTIVE AUDIENCE MEETINGS! The union is for everyone and will run like that no matter who is there or not there. If you cannot come - don't worry - we have your back!

I'll see everybody who can come in Harriman tonight! Let's get it started!

    Great food, great meet and greet. Very informational; I urge as many C and D Crew people to attend as possible. It's a good plan for the future and be there to share in it. We are all in this together. United. We were told for years we are the best, we have to continue to be the best. Prove that we are the best. "We can!"

    Sam, Tom, Steve, and ........

    Forgot the other gentleman's name.

    Thanks for the celebratory dinner tonight.

    Thanks for the Tee shirt.

    Thanks for the stickers

    More importantly thanks for representing us in good faith. Too, thanks for the words of inspiration, and your absolutely right.

    Now is the time to make cans.

    Lots of cans.

    The best cans we've ever made.

    Cans of such high quality our competitors cannot compete.

    Now is the time to make this business profitable for all.

    We all need to stick together, managers and workers alike.

    Now is the time to start the real team, not just the pretend "Team" of the past.

    Remember, a three legged stool never wobbles.

    MCC Management + MCC Workers + IBEW 363 = Strength!

    Saturday was the beginning of a new, great, era of MCC Newburgh.

    Go to work, work together, don't take advantage, pull your load, do what you're supposed to do and we'll all succeed.

    Thanks again IBEW 363.

    Sam and company,
    Thanks for the great food, meeting and many answers. Great to see the happy faces there, even a few of those that didn't believe in this direction. Glad to see that you were there and I hope you will participate in the rest of the process.
    I encourage ALL to attend. Find out what is going to happen and what we need to do. Be a part of YOUR future.

    A proud 363 union member
