Upon<br \/>\nre-reading your series of emails, it has become clear that<br \/>\nyou never intended to represent the Local, but that you are,<br \/>\ninstead, a group of members who are sharing their concerns<br \/>\nwith one another.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have a clearer understanding of who you are, I want<br \/>\nto let you know that I have decided to refrain from directing<br \/>\nLocal 47\u2019s attorney to take any action regarding your<br \/>\ncommunications.<\/p>\n<p>Your letter of June 9 makes clear an undeniable point:<br \/>\nall Local 47 members deserve the right to freely express<br \/>\nthemselves. Please know that I will continue to respect this<br \/>\nright, and that I will continue to do the work that Local 47<br \/>\nmembers have elected me to do for two decades.<\/p>\n<p>As stated in my previous message, I offer you an invitation<br \/>\nto meet with me, face-to-face. I have found that clear, open<br \/>\ncommunication is the best way to foster unity, clarify problems,<br \/>\nand craft solutions. Of course, if you choose to remain<br \/>\nanonymous, I will respect your wishes.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your time and continued support!<\/p>\n<p>Serena Kay Williams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings Local 47 Colleagues!, Below you will find a letter from Serena Kay Williams, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 47.
