Ads by Google      Articles of the 1965 Constitution of Urhobo Progress Union The motto of the Urhobo Progress Union (hereinafter referred to as the "Union") is " Unity is Strength ". And in particular, the National Officers Meeting shall, in addition to any powers which may be specially assigned to it by this Constitution, exercise the powers of the Central Executive Committee especially where and when it is impossible for the Central Executive Committee to meet. The Emblem and Crest of the Union shall be the leopard with a palm tree in the background, and shall be used for all purposes authorized by the Union. http://www.waado.org/Organizations/UPU/UPUConstitution_Articles.htm      IMPEDIMENTS TO UNION DEMOCRACY In short, by union democracy I mean all of the rights granted to the rank and file by the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, the LMRDA, the Landrum-Griffin Act, an act Congress passed as an outgrowth of the Senate's McClellan committee hearings in the late 1950s. Manos has been a member of that union since 1965 and will be testifying about the price he has paid for running for elected office in his local union. The focus of the Landrum-Griffin Act was, therefore, to protect the democratic rights of union members and the democratic processes in union decision making. http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/edu/hedcew5-102.000/hedcew5-102.htm      Avondale’s Work Force: First Union Contract Overwhelmingly Approved The agreement also sets up a series of joint labor-management committees to address ongoing concerns of the Avondale work force, including a Joint Safety and Health Committee, whose goal is to establish Avondale as “the safest shipyard in the nation,” and a Joint Labor-Management Training Committee. “It brings a new era of equality and dignity for the work force there.” Following years of determined struggle, Avondale’s workers won union recognition in August 1999—nearly seven years after having voted in 1993 for union representation. http://www.ibew.com/stories/01journal/0102/avondale.htm      CIA - The World Factbook -- Field Listing - Political parties and leaders National and Democratic Union or UND [Jean-Louis CAMPORA]; Union for Monaco or UPM (including National Union for the Future of Monaco or UNAM [leader NA] National Democratic Party [Celeste BENITEZ]; National Republican Party of Puerto Rico [Luis FERRE]; New Progressive Party or PNP (pro-US statehood) [Pedro ROSSELLO]; Popular Democratic Party or PPD (pro-commonwealth) [Anibal ACEVEDO-VILA]; Puerto Rican Independence Party or PIP (pro-independence) [Ruben BERRIOS Martinez] Gombey Liberation Party or GLP [Gavin Sundjata SMITH); National Liberal Party or NLP [Dessaline WALDRON]; Progressive Labor Party or PLP [William Alexander SCOTT]; United Bermuda Party or UBP [Grant GIBBONS]; http://www.geoplace.com/hottopics/CIAwfb/factbook/fields/2118.html   (3856 words)      Air Defence in Northern Europe 11 In accordance with high-level decisions reached in 1946, about the same time as the initiation of the first postwar Five Year Plan, the State Committee for Defence was abolished and its affairs were transferred to the Council of People’s Commissars, and People’s Commissariat (now Ministry) for the Armed Forces was established.

The listings of southern Black Republican delegates to national conventions from 1868-1944 found in Black Republicans, some of which may only be partial, still indicate the slow progress of political parties, even the party that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, in bringing African Americans into their ranks. However, for the two conventions prior to 1868 ( 1860 and 1864) held in Chicago, and indeed, for many of the national conventions held afterwards, one had to rely on the parties' platforms for any mention of African Americans. http://www.chipublib.org/002branches/woodson/wncovention.html   (2656 words)      Political parties and leaders.
