| | Montana Laborers (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | On the political front, members of Local 1686 worked hard to pass a raise in Montana’s minimum wage, because all Laborers know someone who would benefit from earning more than $5.15 an hour. |
 | | Local 1686 will once again ask the Legislature to pass a resolution in support of the national “Employee Freedom of Choice Act,” which would help workers organize with a simple “card check,” penalize employers who violate workers’ rights to organize and provide for first contract arbitration. |
 | | On a final note; the Local 1686 Pocket Calendars are in, and our Field Reps will be handing them out on the jobsites. |
