KAUAI DIVISION—Polling Dates, Times and Locations

25th ILWU Convention —continued from page 1

Membership meetings will be held to give members a report of what happened at the Convention and to ratify the Convention actions. A secret ballot vote is required to approve the dues increase and constitutional amendments.

After a lively debate, the 25th Convention adopted a resolution to support and promote the VEBA Trust for retiree medical benefits. The Trust was started by the union in 2005.

ILWU units must vote to join the program and pay the $3 a month contribution on behalf of their members. The $3 comes out of the unit fund. Members are also encouraged to make additional “supplemental contributions” on their own, which will increase their benefit when they retire.

Units which have not yet joined the program may still vote to join the VEBA Trust.
