From the President of the Texas State Council of Machinists
The aim of this Council is to promote the interest of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in cooperation and support of our International President, R. Thomas Buffenbarger, throughout the Great State of Texas. We work to unite within its folds all International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Lodges in the State, fostering unity of purpose and action; to assure passage of legislation beneficial to Labor and to work against legislation detrimental to Labor; to cooperate with all Grand Lodge and District Lodge Representatives to promote the interests of our Organization; to promote cooperation of all State and Central Bodies; and to promote concerted action with the membership in the fields of education, human rights, health and safety, and community service and support.
While we support a strong
defense of our Nation, we also support the right of those who toil
in Labor the full extent of the wealth created by their labor
through wages, benefits, and retirement.
We cannot allow the sacrifice of one for the other; we must work with those Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to insure the basic rights of our membership so that they may enjoy the fruits of their labor. We also have the responsibility to make certain that those generations yet to come will have a solid foundation on which they too may enjoy the benefits that have been won through the hard fought battles.
We will need
the help of every Member to achieve our goals. We know we can count
on the Members of the International Association of Machinists and
Aerospace Workers.
Fraternally
Yours,
Danny
Cooke
President
Texas State
Council of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
