UDW STATEWIDE EXECUTIVE BOARD
HIRES
DOUG MOORE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
April 18, 2009 update; Doug Moore chosen Labor Leader of the Year
for San Diego and Imperial Counties
 In
one of its first acts, the newly installed UDW Executive Board
hired Doug Moore as the Executive Director to manage the UDW and
staff on a day to day basis. Mr Moore will report directly to the
Executive Board.
Doug Moore started his labor career over 25 years ago as a rank-and-file
member of CWA becoming a shop steward and eventually Executive
Vice President of CWA Local 9586 in Santa Fe, California. He worked
for SEIU as an International Representative for several years before
taking a position with the National AFL-CIO as Ohio State Director
responsible for AFL-CIO programs for over a million members.
After being recruited by our parent union, AFSCME, as a Regional
Field Administrator and promotion to Assistant Regional Director,
Doug assisted in negotiating an agreement and helped to build a
20,000 strong union which was member driven. He also put together
the first statewide Executive Board structure for the new AFSCME
local 3299 and chaired their committee where a strong member activist
program was developed and embraced by the new activists.
Doug was appointed as Deputy Administrator for the UDW in June
2005 and has been the day-to-day manager of the UDW working for
the Administrator, Flora Walker. Together they have made the UDW
financially solid and developed hundreds of new activists and tens
of thousands of new members. Working with the AFSCME negotiator,
Doug has helped to win the highest wages in the history of the
UDW and led the fight to win affordable health insurance in San
Diego.
In Doug's acceptance speech before the UDW Executive Board and
staff, he said:
UDW is the largest AFSCME affiliate in California
and we will use our strength to work with those who work
with us.
We will build a stronger alliance with other organizations
who share our interest and vision.
And we will stand up to our oppressors and take them
on from county board to county board to send them a clear
message and that message is homecare providers matter!
We are not second class citizens and we will fight to
end the classism, sexism and racism that we see everyday
from these elected boards in our counties. And we will
do this through a mass movement of people from all walks
of life!
We need to change the way business is conducted in
our counties we need to end cronyism in these counties
and we demand to be treated with dignity and respect!
And not like second class citizens.
We'll do this the old fashion way
- Organize, Organize, Organize!
Because when we fight, We win!
I am very honored to have the opportunity to serve
as the Executive Director of UDW. You may
ask why?
- Because the work is not done.
- We have laid the foundation by which a strong and
powerful union will rise.
- I want to be part of it.
I want to be part of a union that is governed by its
members and as your Executive Director, I stand ready
to lead.
We still have a long way to go but the UDW Express
has made its way through the tunnel. It's at the station
picking up members and building momentum.
Will you get on board and take a ride with me?
Will you ride from the San Diego to Riverside with
me?
Will you ride f rom Riverside to Orange with me?
Will you ride from Orange to Santa Barbara with me?
Will you ride from Santa Barbara to SLO with me?
Will you ride from SLO to Kern with me?
Will you ride from Kern to Merced with me?
Will you ride from Merced to Stanislaus with me?
Will you ride from Stanislaus to Placer with me?
Will you ride from Placer to El Dorado with me?
Will you ride from El Dorado to Butte with me?
Will you ride from Butte down to Sacramento and fight for the
rights of homecare providers and their clients?
Will take this ride with me?
Will you get on board?
You don't need a ticket, you just need a union card!
Doug Moore
Executive Director, UDW |
