    The meeting in Los Angeles was well attended with extra chairs being put out in the Cagney and eventually getting into standing room only. Nice job on both the unions parts in getting the word out, a special effort that went viral on Facebook by members and good old word of mouth. I was thrilled to see it.

    Please come out to the Joint W&W and participate. Next week is Monday (24 Nov) and Tuesday (25 Nov) full days (10A-5P) with a break for the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Thanks!
