Constitutional Amendment

Constitutional Amendment banning homosexual marriage on ballot

On November 7, voters in Tennessee will go to the polls to vote on a constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriage.

Similar constitutional amendments have been passed overwhelmingly in 21 states. It has not been defeated in any state.

However, homosexual leaders have vowed to make Tennessee the first state to reject the ban and open the door for homosexual marriage.

I urge you to go to the polls on November 7 and vote for the constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriage. You can be assured that those favoring homosexual marriage will make a special effort to vote. I hope you will also.

Please go vote and encourage others—family, friends, Sunday School class members, church members, etc.—to make that special effort to vote.

Don't let Tennessee become the first state in the nation to defeat the ban. Vote for the constitutional ban on homosexual marriage. Let's keep marriage between one man and one woman.

Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and ChairmanAmerican Family Association

P.S. Please forward this message to your family and friends in Tennessee!

Where is my Union?

Lets assume you have a good work record after 5, 10, 20 years of service. Now, the rules have been redefined and you've been given a reprimand. You feel this is unfair or unjust and want to know what can be done to reverse it.

1. Discuss your situation with a union representative.
2. Proceed with the grievance process.

Your union is where they've always been, working with you every day- your hourly co-workers.

Your union officials are like the head.
Your union members are like the body.
The head and the body functioning as one can accomplish much.

When is the last time you attended your locals monthly meeting?

Lets Work Together - Or Not !

What is up with Human Resources Department these days?
1. Added Security- I wonder why
2. Terminations- who's doing the hiring
3. Disciplinary Action(reprimand)- who cares if you have an emergency

I remember working for companies whose slogan was "People are our most important asset".
Do you feel like an asset when you go to work? I bet not.

What kind of message is being sent to the work force? You tell me.

If we are not appreciated, why volunteer to do more than your job requires.
Such as:
1.Hourly employees doing salaried jobs- I would guess these are reflected in the hourly budget rather than the salaried budget.
2.P.E.O. team members voluntary effort- this must offer a huge savings for the company.
3. Ideas for improvement- just like your emergency causing you to be tardy- who cares.
