General Membership Meeting Resolutions

Meeting was called to order after a wonderful fry bread and blanket dog lunch was served and everyone enjoyed that.
Many issues facing our Union were discussed and resolutions are required to continue to bring home the issue that accountability to Affirmative Action laws requiring State , City , County , and Organized Labor to actually implement these plans of Action and not merely use these laws as a means to qualify them for the benefits of claiming to produce hiring and development of this Native American Workforce we have here in Minnesota.
To Date we have not received one call to become able to participate on any level with organized Labor even though we have officially given the AFL-CIO an application to become a member and have petitioned other organizations for assistance.
Regarding the Enbridge Pipeline , we resolved to proceed with a class action lawsuit regarding their stance on NOT utilizing our Union yet claiming their relationship with other Reservations TERO to comprise a AFFIRMATIVE Action Plan ,we will ask the Judge.
Regarding the B.R.E.C. Lawsuit filed OCT 21-2009 ,we will be filing more briefs and will be happy to clarify what AFFIRMATIVE ACTION should be all about as told by a group of Native Americans and NOT by INSTITUTIONAL RACIAL HIRING Practices by City County and State Organizations and ORGANIZED LABOR! Whom have even had the GALL to hold a State DFL Convention this May in Hinckley Minnesota,at Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe GRAND CASINO, which we will be organizing a PROTEST to use a Non Union Site to hold a Union Convention while Ignoring the Labor Rights of THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN LABOR UNION # 12 . ALSO IGNORING THE WORKER RIGHTS WITHIN THAT SAME ESTABLISHMENT!!!
