Ohio State Council of Machinists News  IAM Members Hit Hard By Huricane Ike9/16/2008 The extent of wind and water damage from Hurricane Ike is still is still being calculated across South Texas and Galveston, TX, where electricity and basic utilities may not be restored for weeks. The number of IAM members affected by the storm is expected to reach into the hundreds.“I've talked to NASA, where many of our members work, and they've gotten heavy damage. We're trying to get hold of our members in the Galveston area, because we know many have been completely wiped out," said District 37 DBR Preston Brown. "We're still trying to get a handle on what's happened." The IAM Community Services Department is already working to provide assistance for victims of Hurricane Ike, just as they did in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. "The proud hallmark of our union has always been the generosity of our members," said Southern Territory GVP Bob Martinez. "You've been there for us in the past, and we need your help now, more than ever. Please be generous in your donations." A formal letter for support will be sent to all IAM Districts and Locals, but donations can be sent directly to the IAM Community Services Department at 9000 Machinists Place, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. |
