UCE Rebel is the voice of fair representation at FIT. It was created to foster a greater awareness of the Union at FIT, to bring to light abuses against members using the power of the Union, and to find effective solutions to the problems facing us all. We seek your support to make the Union at FIT what it was meant to be—a union for all members of the UCE.

The name of our publication draws inspiration from the Woman Rebel, the newsletter created by Margaret Sanger in the early women’s and birth control movements to help empower women and couples to determine their own futures. It is our hope that we can empower our members to work together for the benefit of all members, not just those with their own personal special interests that benefit only themselves and their friends. In short, we hope to foster an atmosphere of unity, fairness, and reform of the leadership that too often seems to foster divisiveness and cronyism.

Contact us if you have a story to tell or would like to contribute to the UCE Rebel.

Letter of Requests to UCE Executive Committee and Officers: This letter followed up on the articles published in the first issue of the UCE Rebel regarding UCE officers appointing themselves to the positions vacated as a result of Lou Stollar’s resignation, and some of the things that need to be fixed. It also addressed other issues related to this year’s elections and establishing lines of succession, as well as made a request for support of the UCE Rebel as an independent voice of dissent to counter the company-union elements of the UCE.

As of my last update, I had not received a response. As it turned out, the letter was never delivered; it seems that letters will not make it to Executive Committee members when they are dropped off at the UCE office. Read all about it in the April 2005 issue of the UCE Rebel.
