Join the Seattle Pensioners Club

We Need You, Join the Pensioners Club

The Seattle Pension Club has seen a decline in membership over the last couple of years. We are the backs of the ILWU. We walk the picket lines with the actives. We are represented at the caucus; we sit on all committees created by the caucus. The Seattle club has been active in picketing.

We are politically active on issues that affect the working class in general and the Longshore Union in particular. We are involved in the Harry Bridges Chair, at the University of Washington and in any endeavors that are helpful to our Locals. We have a member of the PCPA with the negotiating team. We send delegates to conferences and conventions.

We need members to remain viable, to continue looking after our needs as well as covering the backs of our active brothers and sisters. A decline in membership means a decline in revenue, thus limiting our activities. The Rusty Hook is solvent thanks to Locals 19 and 52, but the club itself is dependent on the annual dues. Dues at this time are $25 per year, plus a $3 assessment for conventions.

WE NEED YOU, Old pensioners, new pensioners, active rank-and-file. Locals 19, 52, 98, we want you all. JOIN THE CLUB. We meet on the first Monday of the month, at 10 AM, in the Executive Board room at Local 19's hall. There is social time before and after the meeting; but, the one to two hours of the meetings are all business. We invite you all to join us.
