RANK-AND-FILE DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
It's History!
The 72nd National UE Convention
September 25-29, 2011
Wyndham Grand Hotel
Pittsburgh
The biennial UE Convention is rank-and-file democracy in action. For the 72nd time, delegates representing UE regions and local unions from around the country have come together to set UE policy, elect the union's national officers and learn about our union's progress since the last convention. It's UE's most educational and inspirational event.
Among the key events this year:
• New Top Officers
On December 1st, 2011, UE will have a new General President and a new General Secretary Treasurer. Current UE General President John Hovis is retiring after 44 years in UE. He served as a national officer since 1984 and did not seek re-election this year. UE's new officers will be:
Bruce Klipple
UE General President
Andrew Dinkelaker
UE General Secretary Treasurer
Robert Kingsley
UE Director of Organization
Additional information will be posted soon.
• Policy Set
