NALC BRANCH 4623

Notice of vote to merge Branch 4623 with Branch 908

Date of notice: August 13,2024

Date of vote: October 8,2024

Discussion at our September meeting on Tuesday September 10,2024. 

     Once we are all put into the new S&DC, in Bellmawr NJ, the finance number for the Office will be attached to the largest local Branch in the building. They are putting us in with Branch 908 Branch 769 and Branch 540. Every new hire after the consolidation will automatically be a member of Branch 908. None of the other smaller local unions will ever get a new member hired in that building. Currently we are the smallest Branch of the four. 

     If we merge now we will go into the S&DC as the largest Branch. We will control the local agreement and set the tone. We will be able to certify all stewards and not be dictated to by 540 or 769. 

The choice is yours… To be a member of the largest and most powerful Branch of the NALC in South Jersey, or the smallest Branch which will ultimately and inevitably be disintegrated into non-existence through attrition.

Joseph A. Walder, Union President of Branch 4623
