We, the Michigan State Utility Workers Council, believing it to be our advantage to have a more perfect alliance of our Local Unions, for the promotion of the welfare of our members;

Also believing it to be right and just for men and women to unite in purpose and action, to help those who are less fortunate, to increase the benefits as are inherent in a free society dedicated to the principle of free enterprise;

Sincerely urge all Local Unions to take an active and aggressive part in this Council.

We pledge ourselves to the democratic principles as set forth in this Constitution.
