Report of District 1- Executive Board Member

 

First of all I would like to thank all the members of District I for their support over the last two years. During my tenure, I have done my best to meet all the requirements of my position. I have decided not to run for another term since my future plans will preclude me from completing that term of office. I have enjoyed working with my fellow officers in the state and will offer my assistance if needed in the future for any endeavor.

 

As the District 1 Chair, I organized two district meetings; one in the fall of 2009 and another in June of 2010. Each of the meetings were attended by all branches in the district and provided both legislative and contractual training. I prepared and presented portions of the training at the both meetings. I have also conducted training on COR at State training seminars and at the Regional Rap Session.

 

I attended all State Meetings called by President Rose. I participated in Labor 2010 activities and attended multiple rallies in support of both Kendrick Meek and Alex Sink’s Campaigns. I attended town meetings of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek. I attended a rally with Vice-President Joe Biden and multiple letter carrier friendly candidates. I attended Take Back Florida and We are One rallies held in March and April of 2011.

 

The elections of 2010 did not produce results favorable to labor unions. It has become abundantly clear in the months following the election that serious challenges are facing all government workers. The attack is on and each of us must do our part to support not only our own legislative agenda but those of all organized state and local government workers.

 

I wish you all a very productive and informative convention. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your District I Chair from June 2009 to July 2011.

 

Laurie Miale
