Kim Warren, the president of Local 640 reports that she and her committee in Pensacola, Florida (a right to work for less state) doubled their membership in a single afternoon by organizing an amazing show of union power at a union-organized picnic.

This incredible feat takes place at a critical time, the run-up to negotiations in November. Warren who is based in Alton, Illinois, is clearly on a roll as she establishes the American Water call centers in both Alton and Pensacola as key part of the Utility Workers.

These workers (overwhelmingly women) have clearly sent a message to American Water "We are Union and we intend to stay that way!"
