One of our Members recruited 3 new Members during the November events and walked away with $300 in HOLIDAY CASH.  So, grab a co-worker, come on down, help us grow our Union, and make a little extra CASH for the Holidays!!

AFGE Local 1658 Stands with the UAW

September 19, 2023

Fellow Brothers & Sisters of AFGE Local 1658,

As all of you are aware, the United Autoworkers Workers (UAW) are currently on strike for higher wages, better working conditions, and an equitable pay system.  As the President of this Local, I and our Executive Board, fully support the UAW and their struggle to achieve better working conditions.  As federal workers we cannot strike, but the labor movement is more than just one Local or industry; we are all in this together.   On that note, I highly encourage all Local members, especially retirees, to get involved in this important moment in labor history.  For starters, please visit uaw.org for information on negotiations and what you can do to assist.  Hopefully, the strike will end soon with a fair and equitable contract so everyone can get back to work.

On a final note, please call your congress person and senators, the last thing we need at this point is another Government shutdown.  Remember, we are all in this together.

Zedrick Brown

President

The People’s Voice SPECIAL ELECTION ISSUE MEET THE CANDIDATES July 2023

Welcome to a special “Meet the Candidates” issue of The People’s Voice, the newsletter of AFGE Local 1658.  This special issue is intended to give you, the Union member, information on the candidates who are participating in the upcoming Special Election created by the resignation of Officers during the current term of Office beginning in December of 2021 and ending December 2024.

An election of a single Local 1658 officer Area Vice President (AVP) will be held Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at 3:30 PM EST.  Balloting will be done by mail ballot.  Ballots were mailed to members on July 14, 2023. Completed ballots will need to be returned in sufficient time to be retrieved by 3:00 PM on August 9, 2023.  No runoff should be necessary because there are only two candidates.

Any member who has paid dues through June 21, 2023, is in good standing and eligible to vote.

This special issue of the newsletter is going to introduce you to the two individuals who are running for office this year.  Some of them may be familiar to you; some of them may not be.  They are all Union members who would like the opportunity to serve the membership of our Local in various capacities.  This is not intended to be, or to replace, campaign literature which any candidate may develop and distribute themselves.

The following pages contain various information regarding the candidates, including their experience, education, past Union offices, and position statements.  Please read these carefully.  The future of our Union Local depends on you.

Questions, comments, or concerns regarding the election should be directed to the Special Election Committee Chair, Zedrick Brown, at 586-282-6102, or e-mail to

Zedrick.Brown@afge1658.org.

This newsletter special election issue was produced solely by the Election Committee.
