Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has been a longtime supporter of Local 100, and we will stand tall during the Democratic Primary in support of her re-election.

Precinct block walking, phone calls and delivery of yard signs are all parts of the workings of a successful campaign and the kind of work we know how to do. We will be with her election night to make sure she wins.

Eastman Wins HISD Board Vote

On December 12, 2009, Local 100 supported Anna Eastman for the Houston Independent School District School Board, District I. With almost 9,000 votes cast. she won by 193.

The American Federation of Teachers called her a "teacher basher," but they will soon find out she will support good teachers wherever she finds them. Once again Local 100 defeats AFT, and once again the children and support workers win.

The 26th Annual Local 100 Leadership Conference was held in Dallas, TX, September 26th. It was the best attended Leadership Conference ever. Members came from Shreveport, New Orleans, Napoleanville, Houston and Dallas.

Our biggest Union victory was the NLRB election for the workers at DFW Airport.
Our keynote speaker was City of Dallas Councilperson Angela Hunt. She had recently put on a hard hat and worked on the back of a garbage truck for a full day. She has been our number one supporter in Local 100's fight to get a Living Wage for garbage workers in Dallas.

Why does Local 100 matter?

When things like this happen, we help:

Jimmy Daniels, a minimum wage CTJ maintenance worker is a hopper -- a person who rides on the back of a garbage truck, hops off to collect the trash, then hops back on.

Around July 28, he was riding on the back of Dallas recycle truck 1018. At the end of the day, the driver went down an alley at a high rate of speed and hit a dip, throwing Jimmy off the truck.
