President’s Message – November 2024

Post Election Thoughts and Time for Your Health Check-Ups

As the big election is over, the outcome was not what we wanted overall. But this let’s us know we need to buckle down and get ready to get our hands dirty because we have some work to do.

Luckily, we did have a few victories for labor on the local level. We are pleased that all of our hard work on the George Whitesides campaign paid off. We are looking forward to changing the 27th district to a more labor friendly area that our members can benefit from. I want to thank all the members that precinct walked, phone banked, and took time with and away from family members in order to fight for what we believe in.

On another note, I want to remind members to please schedule your yearly check ups with your doctor. Preventive maintenance on your body is always better than emergency visits that are caused by things that could have been detected early. Call your doc today to set up your yearly physical.

Also utilize Body Scan International. I recently did it and it gave me a lot of good insight on what’s going on inside of me right now, and it finally felt good to have a visit where I was told my weight is going in the right direction haha. That part I contribute through a program we have through Anthem Blue Shield called Betr Health. Please look into it, if you’re interested in a lifestyle change for the betterment of your health. Don’t worry about breaking out the food scale, this plan isn’t strict like that. Feel free to reach out to me if you want a little more info on it before you contact them. 

Brothers and Sisters, it is a pleasure to serve you in this capacity. Don’t hesitate to give me a call, text, or to let me know of a job site I may not know about that you’d like me to visit.

In solidarity, 
Alton Wilkerson
