SUCCESSFUL SEMINAR
HELD BY LOCAL 1-80

Officers of Local 1-80 IWA,
knowing that the job stewards
and committee members are
the backbone of the Union, held
another highly sucessful
seminar for committee
members January 18-19, in the
Local office in Duncan.

Approximately thirty
students attended from both
the sawmills and logging
camps. The main topic of dis-
cussion was how to properly
communicate on the job and

ww

avoid the pitfalls created
through poor communications.

Instructors were Regional
8rd. Vice-President Bob
Blanchard and International
Assistant Research &
Education coordinator Dick
Spohn.

Local 1-80 has held a number
of such seminars and while
very costly, the officers feel
the money is well spent to
upgrade the knowledge of their
members.
