President's Message
Holiday Greetings
This is the time of year that we as GMP members will celebrate the
holiday season with our family and friends, reflecting on the past
year of achievements and setbacks, of births and deaths, marriages,
graduations, promotions and retirements.
As all of us gather around the holiday tables this season we, as members
of the labor movement, have the unique opportunity to share the stories
of our work and the accomplishments the movement has achieved this
year and in years past. We share the stories of progress and defeat, stories
of how bad it used to be before the labor movement and the reality of
how the labor movement has literally saved lives through solidarity. These
stories unite us and they are ours to share.
