Volunteer Organizing Committee In Action

Members of the D-4 Organizing Committee and their kids helped serve popcorn, cotton-candy and snow-cones at the 12th Annual IBEW Local 11, Picnic. All of the items were provided free of charge. The organizing committee booth was well received. Over 1000 snow-cones were given out, 700 cotton-candy and 500 bags of popcorn. The event featured a barbeque, games, raffles, bingo, face-painting and more. Two attractions were added this year, a mechanical bull-ride and a king-of-the-mountain jumper. The weather was perfect for a family picnic.

LAX Officers Report Abuse

A rally for Airport Security Officers at Los Angeles International Airport attracted hundreds of supporters. Activists wore signs that read, “Stand with Front-Line Defenders of Airport Safety” and “The Union Is Here” – Another Union Member in Solidarity with Transportation Security Officers and their Union – AFGE, AFL-CIO. The labor dispute arose from alleged intimidation and firings of airport security personnel for complaining about poor working conditions at LAX. Several local politicians and labor leaders took the stage to speak in support of the Security Officers and their union. The demonstration took place outside Gate 1 near the South West Airlines Arrival Gate.
