General Information
The Retiree Council is active both politically and socially. Politically, the council belongs to the Federation of Retired Union Members (FORUM), with three delegates appointed from our council. Two delegates also attend the Legislative Conference in Sacramento to meet with the California legislators. Socially, the council organizes Reno trips, fishing trips and BBQ's throughout the year for our retired members. All of these activities are subject to approval by the council members.
