Hi friends of the WCC,

Hope you’re well. I’m asking for a little help with the finances of the WCC. As you may or may not know, the WCC lost our third floor tenant. They left us holding the bag on a lot of expenses related to repairs to their space, coupled with a loss of one third of our income for our ongoing bills.

Any chance you can make a quick contribution to the WCC?

Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837, which represents about 3,200 Boeing workers in Berkeley, St. Charles and Mascoutah have been on strike since Aug. 4. They have lost their health insurance and are not receiving paychecks.

On Friday, the union is set to vote on a contract proposed by its own negotiating committee. It includes an updated 401(k) plan, higher wage increases for employees at the top of the pay scale and a $10,000 signing bonus, up from the $4,000 bonus in the previous contract.
