ILWU democracy puts the mem-bers in charge of their union. Theydo this by meeting in Convention todecide the policies and programs ofthe union, set the finances andbudget, and make all other ruleswhich govern the union. The Conven-tion is the highest governing body ofthe union. It is held once every threeyears in the month of September.

ees) and guests from MainlandILWU locals and elsewhere were alsoin attendance for a total of 406participants. Maui Division sent thelargest group with 95 participants,followed by Oahu with 90, thenHawaii with 67, and Kauai with 35participants.

The theme of the Convention was“Unity, Equality, and Rank & FileDemocracy.”

The work of the Convention tookfour days of meetings and discus-sions to complete. On the first day,delegates worked in one of fourcommittees: Constitution; Officers’Report, Organizing, and Resolutions;Contract Administration; and Pro-

grams, which included membershipservices, publicity, education, andpolitical action.

On the second day, the Conventionadopted 14 constitutional amend-ments and a budget for the nextthree years. One amendment to theILWU Constitution creates a long-shore division within Local 142 andanother amendment increases duesfrom 2.0% to 2.5% to help the unionget through a financial crisis.

On the third day, delegates ap-proved reports on the work of theunion and adopted resolutions. Onthe fourth and last day, delegatesnominated the candidates for thethree top officers of the union and

I picked up a card from a phonecompany and written on the cardwas “ Less Talk More Action”. Iplaced that card on the visor of mycar because I wanted a daily re-minder that those were good wordsto try to practice. I have to admitthat some days I do better thanothers, but that is the beauty of anew day, you get to try again.

So, with that thought, I don’t havea list of promises, or the solution tothe awful financial mess that the lastfew years have given us. I do believethat to survive and make our Unionstronger it is going to take all of ustrying to do more, and I will continueto challenge myself every day to tryto live by those words.

I appreciate the responsibility youhave given me to serve as yourBusiness Agent and I would like toask for your vote once again.

In the past, I served as a Division Representative, Business Agent and ampresently the Maui Division Director. However, the past three years havebeen the most trying times of my 30 years as a full-time officer of the ILWULocal 142. Due to recent economic conditions, the union gave relief to some ofthe companies that we represent. However, we made sure that any assistancewe gave to these companies will be restored to our members over the life ofthe agreement.

It was with the help of the Unit Leadership and Business Agents that wehave been able to negotiate improvements in a majority of the CollectiveBargaining Agreements with companies in Maui and Lanai. We were alsoable to have some non-resort companies join the General Health and WelfareTrust Fund and enroll more hotels into the Health and Welfare Trust Fund.In addition to this, we continue to assist members with their workers compen-sation, Social Security and pension benefits.

Our goal is to ensure that in the long run, we save our members jobs to sowe all have a bright future to look forward too.

I have learned a lot from myexperience as a Business Agent andfrom working with the Rank and FileLeadership and members. For me avery important part of serving theUnion is to give back the knowledgethat we have gained to the Unionand the membership. By sharing andteaching what we have learned, wecan continue to build the Union forthe future.

I want to thank the Unit Leadersfor their hard work in representingtheir members and the membershipfor their support these past 3 years.In these tough times, all of you arethe difference in what we can accom-plish as a Business Agent. Mahalofor your support.

Division Director Dave Mori is one of the most experienced and knowledge-able leaders in our Union today with over 30 years of dedicated experience.Although Dave is running unopposed in his third-term as Division Director,he gratefully thanks every member for his/her support over the past sixyears.

Dave started his humble beginnings in the ILWU in 1976 as a field workerat Oahu Sugar and quickly moved up to become a journey machinist. He wasfirst elected Unit Secretary/Treasurer in 1978, and served as Unit Chair andDivision Trustee before being elected as a Business Agent in 1991. He hasserved as Division Director since 2004.

Under Dave’s leadership over forty different Units have successfullynegotiated the best possible contracts, many of them newly organized Units.As Division Director he continues to negotiate good contracts and helps toorganize the unorganized by mentoring and educating others.

Business Agent CandidateGordon Young

I would like to thank all themembers who supported me in thepast and continue to support me.Because of members like you, whoare devoted to working class prin-ciple and justice, the ILWU is wellrespected throughout the world.

The ILWU has been good to myfamily. My mother worked as atrimmer/packer at the Dole Canneryfor over 20 years. The wages andbenefits won by the Union enabledher to comfortably raise our familyand give us a good education. Imyself obtained a Master’s Degree.

I served as Business Agent in1991-94, because I wanted to giveback to others what the ILWU hasprovided to my family and me. Butdue to personal reasons I had toleave office. However, I continued toserve as an elected Unit Officer atthe Honolulu Advertiser.

With the retirement of our LocalPresident, our Union will face newchallenges. Employers are constantlytrying to erode hard fought benefitswon in previous contracts. I humblyask for your support again in electingme to serve you as a Business Agent.

25th ILWU Convention—continued from page 1

If you were born in another country and arein the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident,you know what a “green card” is. A green cardallows an immigrant to live and work in theU.S. legally. But since 1989, a green cardmust be renewed every ten years.

Unfortunately, some workers are beingreminded about this reality when their ex-pired green cards prevent them fromcontinuing to work. In some cases, it’s be-cause the worker is applying for a new job. Inother cases, it’s because the worker’s currentcompany is being taken over by new manage-ment which requires all employees tore-apply.

By law, all employers are required to com-plete an I-9 form within three business daysof hiring anyone. The form requires theemployer to verify the prospective employee’sauthorization to work in the U.S. by review-ing documents that establish identity andwork authorization. All documents must beunexpired.

If you are not a U.S. citizen but are a lawfulpermanent resident with a green card, checkthe front of your green card to see if it has anexpiration date. You should file an I-90 formto renew your green card six months beforethe expiration date. The fee is $370, includingfingerprinting.

You will not lose your permanent residentstatus if your green card is expired, but youmay have difficulty getting a new job withouta valid green card. Also, you should carryyour green card with you at all times. So besure to renew your green card before theexpiration date.

Do You Have a

“Green Card”?

Hanalei Peters, from the KaanapaliBeach Hotel, spoke in favor of theVEBA Trust. He reminded delegatesthat many benefits we enjoy todaycome from contributions by unionmembers in the past. Peters urgeddelegates to think about how the VEBAprogram will help their children andfuture union members.

If your unit voted to participate inthe ILWU VEBA Trust, you shouldhave received a “Benefit Statement”that shows how much was contrib-uted on your behalf for 2005, 2006and 2007.

This is not a bill. It shows you howmuch was contributed and where thegaps in contribution are. If you don’thave at least $36 credited to youeach year, you may want to make apayment to bring your account up todate. Contact the plan administrator,Pacific Administrators, Inc., at 441-8600 or 1-888-520-8078 for moreinformation.

A VEBA Handbook of Benefits isalso available at each Division. Callthe Division Office or your BusinessAgent to obtain a copy. The hand-book includes forms for“Continuation of Required Contribu-

Convention adopts policy to promote the VEBA TrustAfter a lively debate, the 25th

Convention adopted a resolution tosupport and promote the VEBATrust for retiree medical benefits.The Trust was started by the unionin 2005.

ILWU units must vote to join theprogram and pay the $3 a monthcontribution on behalf of theirmembers. The $3 comes out of theunit fund. Members are also encour-aged to make additional“supplemental contributions” ontheir own, which will increase theirbenefit when they retire.

Units which have not yet joinedthe program may still vote to join theVEBA Trust.

RCA-1 - Resolution to

promote the VEBA TrustMedical coverage is crucial to

everyone’s well-being. With insur-ance, health care can be affordableand accessible. Without insurance,however, a person must decidebetween getting needed health careand doing without, leading to poten-tially more serious and costlymedical conditions.

ILWU International PresidentRobert McEllrath was one of ninenew vice presidents elected to 52-member AFL-CIO Executive Council.This will give the ILWU a greatervoice in helping to shape our nation'slabor policies at the AFL-CIO.

Delegates to the 2009 AFL-CIOConvention held this September inPittsburgh, PA, also elected RichardTrumka as the labor federation’s newpresident. Trumka was nominatedby outgoing President John Sweeney,who praised his energy and dedica-tion.

ILWU seated on national

AFL-CIO Executive CouncilFor the first time in history, two

women were elected as executiveofficers of the 11.5 million memberAFL-CIO. Arlene Holt Baker waselected Executive Vice President andLiz Shuler was elected Secretary-Treasurer.

UNITE-HERE also announced tothe Convention they would rejoin theAFL-CIO. This should put an end tothe anti-ILWU activities of theHawaii local of Unite-HERE whichcompetes with the ILWU in organiz-ing hotel workers.

Yet for many ILWU members,medical coverage ends just whentheir need is the greatest. Very fewILWU members have medicalcoverage when they retire. Instead,they are forced to purchase medicalinsurance on their own or pay for allmedical expenses out-of-pocket until

they become eligible for Medicare.That is why delegates to the Local

Convention in 2003 took action toestablish a Voluntary EmployeeBeneficiary Association (VEBA)Trust when sufficient numbers ofmembers voted to participate in theprogram. By 2005, after numerousmeetings with members on allislands, the VEBA program was putinto place and contributions to theTrust began. With these contribu-tions, participating members areexpected to receive a benefit towardpayment of expenses for medicalcosts when they retire.

However, the amount that amember may receive when eligible islikely to be small, even with contri-bution investments, because themonthly contribution itself is rela-tively small ($3). That is why theLocal encourages members partici-

pating in the VEBA Trust to increasetheir monthly contributions withvoluntary Supplemental Contribu-tions.

Supplemental Contributions maybe made at any time and in anyamount, but the earlier the contribu-tions are made, the greater thepotential for investment earnings.

NOW THEREFORE BE ITRESOLVED that the 25th Conven-tion of ILWU Local 142 encouragesunits to participate in the ILWULocal 142 VEBA Trust to allow unitmembers to benefit from post-retirement benefits; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVEDthat the 25th Convention of ILWULocal 142 also encourages membersof participating units to considerSupplemental Contributions toincrease future benefits.
