Council Updates: EWL rescheduled; MWC Board vacancy

EWL rescheduled to April 2021: Evening with Labor has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 3, 2021. “We had really hoped to be able to hold this year’s Evening with Labor in mid-October,” says EWL Committee Chair George Farenthold, “But due to ongoing limitations on gatherings because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s just not possible to do so safely and that of course is still and always our paramount concern.” Stay tuned for updates/further details.

MWC Board vacancy: A special election will be held at the October 19 MWC meeting to fill the vacancy created by last month’s resignation by UFCW Local 400 president Mark Federici, who stepped down in accordance with the Council’s constitution, which bars more than one delegate from the same local holding office (recently-elected MWC president Dyana Forester is a Local 400 delegate). Nominations to fill the vacant Board seat will be held at the September 21 Metro Council meeting.
