Many of you have recieved letters from Local 911 in regards to a new organizer, Deb Collins. Denny Dierker has returned to work for Kroger. Deb is actually not a new face. Health advisors that have been part of the organizing committee will recognize her from the meetings. She was our original contact in late fall 2006.

She is reaching out to us to see how things have been going and is eager to speak with each and everyone of us. Deb can be reached at 419-865-1341 or 800-232-8279. Also, e-mail can be another method: ufcw911@buckeye-express.com.

Our organizing attempts are not going to go *poof* and disappear. Many of the health advsiors in Toledo are in this for the long haul. We're too close to give up. Plain and simple.

With over 1/3 of health advisors actively seeking other jobs, we cannot let HHT win this one. We lost someone last week and will be losing another at the end of next week. We must remain united. If you look at the slogan on my desk: United we bargain, divided we beg. That's what it's all about, folks.

My resolve has never been stronger. Are you ready to take this struggle further...?
