A new report from the Center for American Progress shows that union membership helps increase wealth and prosperity for families of color. The research comes on top of recent polls showing that more and more people are embracing the powerful benefits of collective bargaining.

Here are some of the key findings of the report:

When working people collectively bargain for wages, benefits and employment procedures, as union members they have higher wages, more benefits and more stable employment as a result of the bargaining agreement.

Household wealth is dependent on several factors, including income, savings, people having benefits like health insurance and life insurance.

Higher wages lead to

St. Louis Union Members Show

Pride After Prop A Defeat ST. LOUIS – This year’s Labor Day parade took on added significance in this Mississippi River city that serves as the nation’s gateway to the West after Missouri voters overwhelmingly defeated a ballot measure last month to enact so-called right to work (RTW) in the state. And the hundreds of Teamsters on hand yesterday were relishing every moment.

One couldn’t walk more than a few steps in the sweltering Midwest heat without encountering a participant holding a defeat Proposition A sign, or wearing a shirt, or brandishing a button. As members lined up to march and remember the contributions of generations of workers who fought for and won better pay, benefits and working conditions for today’s workers, they admitted this year’s celebration was a little more joyous than most.

“It does feel different,” said Rodney Kalina, a Local 688 member and 25-year Teamster who is a driver and shop steward for Pepsi Beverages. “In years past, different parts of labor weren’t unified. This year, it just feels like we’re more unified. If it took this fight to get there, I hope it stays in that direction.”

Hardworking Missourians stood up to corporate cronies on Aug. 7, overwhelmingly rejecting their efforts to

enact a RTW law in the state that would have curbed the ability of workers to join together to negotiate for higher pay, benefits and safety on the job.

By a more than two-to-one margin, voters overruled the state Legislature and former governor that enacted RTW in 2017 after years of failed attempts to do so. The Teamsters and other unions came together in the weeks following the legislation’s passage to get voters to place a measure on the state ballot that would overturn the law.

Larry Tinker, Secretary-Treasurer of Joint Council 13, said the thousands gathered at the St. Louis parade could march with pride knowing that their years of hard work to first stave off passage of RTW in Missouri and then defeat it at the ballot box had made a real impact with state residents.

“We know that not only the union people support this, but the other citizens around support this,” he said. “It just makes you feel good, so you get out there and you keep fighting.”

It also sets a blueprint for how the Teamsters and the labor movement should come together and flex their muscle in advance of the November election, said Marvin Kropp, President of Joint Council 13.

Beginning next year, Congress will finally start paying its interns!

For years, people who want to help build a better America by working in Congress have been offered "jobs" with no pay—as congressional interns. These internships are coveted because they help open doors to prestigious scholarships and graduate schools, and they help young people get started on careers in law, politics, diplomacy, business and many other fields.

But think about it. Who can afford to take a nonpaying job? Not me. And certainly not most people who come from a working-class background. I was lucky enough to have my first congressional job come with a paycheck. Otherwise, I’d have had to turn it down.

So who can afford to take these jobs, and all the doors they open? Often, it’s the very folks who already have lots of economic advantages. If you’re lucky enough to come from a family who can afford to pay your Washington, D.C., living expenses for a summer or semester or even a whole year while you learn how Congress works and rub elbows with this country’s current and future power players, that’s awesome!

But having lots of money is not a valid way to choose congressional aides. And, think about how that skews the policies that come out of Washington. What if there is a vote coming up on the

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, and no one in the office can speak to how the program helped keep their family in their home when mom was between jobs? Or no one to say they could not have afforded college without a Pell Grant? Or to explain why having the freedom to join a union can mean better health care and an annual family vacation for millions of America’s families? In the end, working in a congressional office isn’t just a learning experience for the intern—it provides valuable input into the decisions that senators and representatives make. And it is important that elected officials interact with people from all walks of life, not just D.C. elites.

Congressional internships should be open to all—not just to those who can afford it. Rep. Tim Ryan (Ohio), a supporter of this provision, explained to The Hill: "By providing this dedicated funding to help House offices pay their interns, we are moving to level the playing field and provide opportunities for young Americans who may not otherwise have the financial means necessary to dedicate a full semester or summer to an unpaid internship."

We’re glad Congress has decided to pay its interns and encourage all U.S. employers to follow suit.

higher savings, particularly when combined with job-related benefits, such as health and life insurance, since those benefits require union members to spend less out-of-pocket to protect their families.

Union members have higher job stability and protections, which lead to longer tenures at a workplace. This can lead to more savings as longer-tenured employees are more likely to be eligible for key benefits that accrue over time.

Nonwhite families with a union member in the household have a median wealth that is 485% as large as the median wealth of nonunion families of color.

Union members' annual earnings are between 20 and 50% higher than those for nonunion members.

The benefits of union membership for nonwhite families are more significant than it is for white families because nonwhite workers tend to work at jobs with lower pay, fewer benefits and less stability. Union membership lowers the gap for everyone, but the gains are larger when you are starting from a lower level of income and benefits.

Union members also are less likely to experience a negative shock (a large change in income) and more likely to experience a positive shock.

New NAFTA Must Be Trilateral,

Address Freight Rail Staffing

Concerns

WASHINGTON – The following is a joint statement from Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa and Teamsters Canada President François Laporte in response to ongoing North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA) reform discussions taking place in Washington now between U.S. and Canadian trade representatives and the need for a trilateral agreement.

“The Teamsters are encouraged to see U.S. and Canadian representatives sitting down this week and trying to reach agreement on essential outstanding issues as part of NAFTA 2.0. Canada’s inclusion in any revamped trade deal is necessary if the Teamsters are ultimately going to endorse this pact.

“Likewise, all North American nations must be included in a freight rail fix the Teamsters and our Mexican rail union brethren are demanding that would protect the jobs of some 143,000 freight rail workers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It builds off an

Wide Deal Is Necessary to

Garner Union’s Support (WASHINGTON) – The following is a joint statement from Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa and Teamsters Canada President François Laporte in response to outstanding issues that U.S. and Canadian trade representatives must hash out to ensure that a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a deal that works for workers.

“As negotiators eye the finish line for replacing NAFTA, it is time for parties on both sides to reach consensus on the remaining issues that are holding up completion of the pact. We reiterate that this must be a trilateral agreement to enjoy the support of the Teamsters. Any compromises, however, must put the needs of workers across the continent first instead of just further lining the pockets of big business.

“To start, labor rights provisions included in the Labor Chapter must protect workers and their ability to organize with

Pacific Railway as necessitating the request.

“We note that the exclusion of foreign rail crews that the Mexican government inserted in the original NAFTA is likely to survive into the replacement agreement and therefore we call on the U.S. and Canadian governments to similarly protect our freight rail crew members. These workers are members of BLET and TCRC, Teamsters all, and we expect that their existing collective bargaining agreements will be honored and their jobs will be protected from unilateral cross-border incursion under any new trilateral NAFTA replacement.

“The threat to North American rail workers is real. We urge the U.S. and Canada to make sure these workers are protected as part of a new NAFTA.”

agreement reached by the continent’s railway unions two decades ago in the spirit of solidarity – that no movement of employees across borders would occur absent explicit agreement with the unions permitting it.

“The U.S. Teamsters-affiliated Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen sent a letter to President Trump in July informing him that Kansas City Southern Railway was already allowing Mexican rail workers to staff trains inside U.S. borders, in violation of federal law.

“Similarly, Teamsters Canada sent a letter to the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs in late August calling on Canada to protect its rail members from companies wishing to replace them with U.S. workers. It referenced the 2015 actions of Canadian

“Optimizer” tablet which can be used in a very limited way while the vehicle is moving. In some cases, when the driver receives a message, an envelope appears on the screen. When the driver taps the envelope, the message is read out loud by the device. The driver therefore doesn’t have to look away from the road, unlike the tablets which were installed on board the Demix trucks.

Laval, Quebec, September 14, 2018 — Teamsters will meet this month with managers at cement company Demix to demand that the “Optimizer” tablet computers that were installed on board its trucks be deactivated. The tabs are being used to send and receive messages while the vehicle is moving.

The tabs, which were

installed in fall 2017, initially couldn’t be used if a truck was moving faster than 50 km/h. But workers, who are members of Teamsters Local Union 931 in Montreal, later noticed that they could send and receive messages regardless of the vehicle’s speed.

The company is using the tabs to send messages about routes, assignment changes and dinner breaks. Workers felt obligated to open the messages and to look at the screen for several long seconds before directing their attention back to driving.

Once the Teamsters were made aware of the situation, the union reminded its members that it is illegal to use these devices while driving, and that doing so puts lives at risk.

After inquiring about the issue with workers at other cement companies, the Teamsters found that the use of tablet computers is not a widespread problem in the industry.

Many semi-trailer truck fleets are equipped with devices similar to the

independent unions, and must be enforceable. North American families deserve the dignity that fair wages and working conditions bring.

“Additionally, the U.S. and Canada must create a mutually beneficial landing zone where they can come to terms on dairy and dispute settlement. For the U.S., that means compromising when it comes to Canada’s dairy market and supply management system. Meanwhile, Canada must not allow its views of the current U.S. administration to cloud its judgment and should drop its demand to preserve Chapter 19 dispute settlement.

“If all this is done, NAFTA 2.0 can become an agreement that lifts up North American workers and, therefore, can be supported by the same unions that have opposed the original deal and its expansion in other free trade pacts for over 20 years.”

Paul Waldron, a Utah lawyer specializing in wills, trusts, and probate, brought our attention to the following article on LawInfo.com. It's an excellent overview of issues you may need to consider when dealing with estate issues.

Disclaimer: The information on this page is meant to provide a general overview of the law. The laws in your state and/or city may deviate significantly from those described here. If you have specific questions related to your situation you should speak with a local attorney.

A Last Will and Testament is one of the most important legal documents a person can create during his or her lifetime. If a person dies without a Will they are said to have died "intestate" and state laws will determine how and to whom the person's assets will be distributed.

If a person dies without a Will the beneficiaries can not dispute the court's distribution of that person's estate under the intestacy laws. Even if that person expressed different wishes verbally during their lifetime the statutes control the distribution. With a valid Will, a person can legally determine how their property will be distributed… and to whom. Most intestacy statutes distribute a deceased person's assets between a surviving spouse and their children or to only the children if there is not a spouse. If there are no surviving children the assets then are generally distributed to extended family members.

A Will must meet the legal requirements set forth by the state in order for it to be valid. Most states will also accept a Will that was executed in another state if the document is a valid Will under that state's law. The general requirements for a valid Will are usually as follows: (a) the document must be written (meaning typed or printed), (b) signed by the person making the Will (usually called the "testator" or "testatrix", and (c) signed by two witnesses who were present to witness the execution of the document by the maker and who also witnessed each other sign the document.

In Utah, the laws regarding the valid execution and witnessing of a Will are set forth in the Utah Code, Title 75, Chapter 02- Intestate Succession and Wills, Sections 75-2-501 through 75-2-505.

In Utah, any person eighteen (18) year of age and of sound mind may make a Will. (See: Section 75-2-501) "Sound mind" generally means someone who has not been deemed

incompetent in a prior legal proceeding.

A Will must be in writing, signed by the testator and by two witnesses. If the testator cannot physically sign his name he may direct another party to do so. Each witness must sign the Will in the testator's presence. (See: Section 75-2-502)

In Utah, an individual generally competent to be a witness may act as a witness to a will. Generally, it is recommended that the witnesses to the Will be "disinterested", which means that they are not a beneficiary of the Will. However, in Utah the signing of a Will by an interested witness does not invalidate the Will or any provision of it. (See: Section 75-2-505)

If a Will's authenticity is unchallenged it may be probated in a simplified procedure if it has been self-proven. Witnesses to a self-proven Will are not required to testify in court because the court automatically accepts a self-proven Will as authentic. To self-prove a Will the testator and the witnesses must swear in an affidavit before a notary to the authenticity of the Will. The affidavit should be part of the Will or attached to it. (See: Section 75-2-504)

For a while now, clinicians have used several forms of treatment to aid our military, first responder, and society who are suffering with PTSD. Some use hypnosis, others normally used CBT, REBT, and Grief and Loss Modalities mainly treating the fear aspect of the trauma, but new research is supportive of the spiritual element when treating PTSD. You see...when a person experiences trauma by another or witnesses trauma of someone-then this also injures the moral conscience. This moral injury often hinders healing due to the guilt and shame attached and must be processed. Being able to embrace the spiritual pain and moral conscience and then process this aspect of the trauma-then one is able to find a full peace.

Lately, we have had training in how to provide such aid, and as a Christian Counselor-then we are versed in scriptural passages to also provide to our clients if they are accepting of including the spiritual aspect; or we can address moral injury without this adjunct for those who may not feel comfortable of the spiritual construct. While we use EFT, CBT, Radical Forgiveness, Grief and Loss to address Fear and Hate; we can also address the Guilt and Shame from working with the moral injury of the conscience-and can add the spiritual aspect for believers of Christianity or in any other faith of their choice-as long as it does embrace the constructs needed to allow for healing.

A recent Veteran came to use through a referral from TriWest; who had been in treatment for decades yet was not feeling relief. He complained of the usual PTSD symptoms, marital issues, and was not sleeping. He also suffered with major depression anxiety. His health was also struggling with several health conditions and stress. This hurting Veteran, who should be honored as a Navy Commander, and for his service, appeared to be lost and frustrated. He was polite and with above intelligence, and was dressed casual yet his clothing was pressed (as one would expect); and his face was filled with doubt-but he entered the office. I sensed his pain and we chatted about why he was here.

I had only returned from CEU training and had taken the class regarding PTSD. I am a daughter of the Revolution; with two grandfathers who served in WWI, Uncles in WWII; and many family members, including my father (stationed in Germany-Army branch-Sergeant, and tank officer; my husband (stationed in Korea, army, mechanic), and both sons (Army, one tech and

one served in Iraq on the ground as a soldier); and I am most proud of each. Due to my want to help those who have put their lives on hold and at risk for this nation; I found myself entering that class and was educated as to the latest research and techniques that were providing effective healing. Therefore I listened to this man's story and I knew that this was my opportunity to employ the additional training. I disclosed this to him and we decided to work together. Within 12 sessions; he was most elated with the progress and most thankful-but you see-I was more thankful that he came and was helped.

If you are struggling with PTSD, please ask your counselor if they are aware of "moral injury" and the treatment for this. If not-find a counselor who does. we would love to help you at Heal and Hope Counseling Services if you are near our area.

Thank you for your service. Our Nation is strong because of you. God be with you.
