RFP PREPARATION
We prepare custom made RFPs tailored to your organization’s individual needs. INMEX has also developed standard RFP templates, so that suppliers understand the importance your group places on corporate and social responsibility. At INMEX, we strive to ensure you have a seamless event, but also ensure you’re patronizing companies that respect your organization’s values.
SITE VISIT PREPARATION & LOGISTICS
At INMEX, we know that you never really know what a destination has to offer until you’ve seen it first hand, which is where our close relationships with CVBs and national hotel chains can help your group. INMEX can assist with air reservations and can manage all other logistics for your group’s all-important site visit.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION
INMEX negotiates the best available rates and concessions for your group. We ensure that the final contract protects your group as well as the hotel from the unexpected, such as labor disputes and natural disasters. We are also keenly focused on matching concessions with your group’s individual values when we negotiate contracts.
HOUSING SERVICES
INMEX is able to provide and manage all aspects of housing and registration for your event. From on-line booking tools through integrated invitation and attendee registration, INMEX’ housing support is another example of how our services can save your group time to focus on what is important: the meeting itself.
SITE SELECTION
INMEX has built and maintains an extensive database on all existing hotels and new properties in the development pipeline. INMEX also compiles detailed information about destination cities and other suppliers, so that you know which locations and corporations share your values well before you book your event.

YEARS AGO ,
CHRISTOPHER’S
ST. INC.
HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
Joseph Semidei Executive Director
This rich legacy of service continues to inform and inspire the agency and its staff to provide quality educational, residential, health and social services to youngsters who are experiencing challenges and difficulties in their lives. St. Christopher’s has engaged in a “revisioning” of its system to enhance services for generations to come. We are revitalizing our residential and educational services so that our students receive a seamless educational and therapeutic experience. It is our goal to deliver the highest level of service while promoting the health and well-being of our children and families so they can reach their highest potential.
Interior pages
Comprehensive and Coordinated Services St. Christopher’s and the Greenburgh-North Castle school district program is designed to provide a safe and supportive structure for youngsters who currently cannot be maintained and educated successfully in their home community. A wide range of services are available, including educational, therapeutic, recreational, and medical care. There is ongoing coordination between the school personnel, residential, medical, and clinical/social work staff. This blending of staff and coordination of services is particularly important when serving youth who require intensive services and a high level of structure and supervision. Service planning is conducted by a multidisciplinary team, including teachers, guidance counselors, psychologists, social workers, cottage counselors, and activities staff. Our primary objective for each child is to provide them with superior educational and therapeutic services and prepare them to be independent and productive members of families, neighborhoods and communities.
Residential St. Christopher’s, Inc. places a high value on giving young people opportunities to achieve success in life. Our residential program provides structured and safe home-like setting with personalized bedrooms and common space while helping youngsters develop essential life skills. With the goal of growing and developing the minds of our children, our staff provides support in managing their daily responsibilities. They guide youngster’s decision-making and problem-solving in everyday circumstances and support academic and co-curricular involvement, as well as
Clinical Therapeutic and related services are a valued part of the program and our youngsters are actively encouraged to participate in treatment. We incorporate a behavior modification level system that supports positive growth and change. Our clinicians are trained to utilize cognitive be-
havioral and other evidenced based approaches to treat challenging behaviors presented by our youngsters. A wide-range of groups are offered such as social skills, problem solving, and anger management groups, as well as groups regarding sexuality and overcoming trauma.
Social Services When a youngster is admitted into our program, the social worker is the primary contact regarding each child’s plan and progress and the referral source, ensuring proper documentation of services and care. Our social workers communicate with families and provide feedback regarding the child’s stay in our residential program and school. Social workers and other St. Christopher’s staff enlist families to be an active part of the team helping their child to grow academically and personally.
Greenburgh-North Castle/St. Christopher’s is committed to providing students a top-quality academic program aligned with New York State Standards. Our philosophy is based on a supportive, psycho-educational approach with academic programming in a holistic environment. Our comprehensive program of learning encompasses the main dimensions of being a well-rounded human being. We strongly feel that learning is a natural and lifetime activity that will enrich our students throughout their lives. We believe education is about helping youngsters realize their potential and to be productive members of society. We have built our educational process on three fundamental concepts:
1 2
3
Character Building: Young people need and demand that adults provide them with a moral compass to chart out their lives to reach their potential and become model citizens in society. Skill Acquisition: Our curriculum reflects state standards and high expectations and is the cornerstone of a quality academic program. Beyond skill acquisition, we enhance our educational effort so that many of our students acquire or are well on their way to acquiring a Regent’s diploma.
GreenburghNorth Castle Union Free School District at St. Christopher’s Greenburgh-North Castle School District is a New York State public school district serving approximately 300 students with special education needs, grades 7-12. Our class sizes range from 6 to12 students with a teacher and a teacher assistant to assure personalized attention and individualized instruction. The School District is recognized by the New York State Education Department and accredited by the Commission on Secondary Schools of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. We prepare students for all required New York State Regents testing and award high school diplomas to eligible students. Students also receive guidance from certified counselors to help prepare them for college, work and the transition to independent living. Greenburgh-North Castle/St. Christopher consists of three separate school sites - the Yonkers campus specifically for students residing in their home community; The Jennie Clarkson/Valhalla campus, located on 38 wooded acres; and the Dr. Kenneth Clark Academy, our new “state of the art” facility on the Dobbs Ferry campus.
Affective Climate of Care: For learning to take place with the active participation of the student, the teaching staff must establish a climate and culture of caring for the students. Students must feel that the adults who are part of their lives have an unconditional positive regard for them as human beings.

Vente au détail UNITE HERE représente des milliers d’employés du commerce de détail travaillant pour des sociétés telles que Brooks Brothers, Barneys New York, Jos A Bank et Duane Reade. Au cours de l’année écoulée, notre syndicat a recruté des employés de magasins Barney’s New York dans tout le pays, notamment à Washington, Houston, au Texas et Troy, dans le Michigan. Nos membres travaillent dans neuf magasins de cette société de prêt-à-porter haut de gamme, et notamment dans le magasin phare de la marque, situé à New York. Plus de 1000 membres de UNITE HERE travaillant pour Duane Reade, la chaîne de magasins basée à New York, ont négocié un nouveau contrat cette année. UNITE HERE continue à recruter dans les magasins Duane Reade à mesure qu'ils ouvrent leurs portes. Plusieurs centaines d’employés de magasins Brooks Brothers dans la région de New York ont obtenu un nouveau contrat cette année, couvrant des hausses de salaire, des taux de commission sur les ventes, une couverture maladie et des contributions au fonds de retraite de la société. UNITE HERE représente les employés et les fabricants de vêtements dans plus d'une dizaine de magasins Brooks Brothers à travers le pays.

Distribution UNITE HERE représente plus de 30 000 employés dans des centres de distribution et des entrepôts de tous les Etats-Unis et du Canada, dans des sociétés telles que TJ Maxx, Liz Claiborne et Levi Strauss. Plus de 200 employés du centre de distribution d’une des plus importantes entreprises de prêt-àporter américaines – Jones Apparel Group – ont récemment choisi de rejoindre UNITE HERE à El Paso, au Texas. « Ce syndicat, UNITE HERE, est une véritable bénédiction ! » déclare Emma Alvarez, membre du comité. « Jamais je n’avais vu une direction changer d'attitude aussi vite, mais depuis que nous avons entamé les négociations, ils nous respectent. Cela prouve simplement ce que l'ont peut réussir en s'unissant. » Jones Apparel Group emploie plus de 13 500 personnes à travers le monde et a enregistré l’an dernier 5 milliards de dollars de ventes. Cette société vend des vêtements et des chaussures sous des marques telles que Jones New York, Nine West, Anne Klein et Easy Spirit. Elle possède également la chaîne de magasins de luxe Barneys New York, où UNITE HERE représente près de 1000 employés des magasins et des centres de distribution. En octobre, UNITE HERE a conclu une promesse de contrat avec le géant allemand de la mode Hugo Boss, offrant un nouveau contrat à près de quatre-vingt dix employés dans un centre de distribution de la région de Savannah, en Georgie. Ils travaillaient sans contrat depuis avril. Les employés ont lutté pour obtenir une augmentation décente au cours de la première année d’un nouveau contrat et pour bénéficier d’un plan de retraite financé par
leur employeur. Le soutien des membres de UNITE HERE à travers le pays a été déterminant pour obtenir ce contrat, car ils ont distribué des tracts dans les magasins Hugo Boss et envoyé des lettres au P-D.G. de la société. UNITE HERE représente plus de cinq cents employés de Hugo Boss dans le centre de distribution de Savannah et dans un centre de fabrication et de distribution de Cleveland, dans l’Ohio. Les employés de Hugo Boss à Cleveland ont défendu leurs collègues de Savannah qui n’avaient pas encore de contrat, prouvant que la solidarité n’est pas un vain mot. « Nous travaillons tous pour la même compagnie et nous méritons d’avoir les mêmes avantages », a déclaré Elba Rosario, employée dans une fabrique de pantalons. Les actions menées dans les magasins Hugo Boss
Fabrication Le ministère américain de la Défense consacre plus de 2 millions de dollars par an à l’achat d’uniformes et autres équipements et éléments textiles destinés aux soldats américains. La loi fédérale impose que ces vêtements soient fabriqués aux Etats-Unis. 5000 employés de UNITE HERE environ fabriquent différentes tenues de combat et uniformes, tenues renforcées et gilets pare-balles, ainsi que des parachutes dans des sociétés telles que American Apparel, Point Blank et Tama Manufacturing. Ces employés bénéficient de salaires, d’une assurance maladie et d’un plan de retraite dans le cadre de leur contrat syndical, mais il reste plus de 15 000 employés non syndiqués dans ce secteur qui travaillent souvent dans des conditions très difficiles. Les employés d’une de ces sociétés, American Power Source, située à Columbus, dans le Mississippi, ont un salaire à peine supérieur au salaire minimum, ne disposent pas d'un plan de retraite, ne peuvent pas se permettre de payer une assurance maladie, et doivent souvent s’ap-
puyer sur les programmes d’assistance du gouvernement. « Je travaille comme fournisseur pour le gouvernement. Je devrais être en mesure de vivre et de faire vivre mes enfants par moimême, sans recourir à l'assistance du gouvernement », déclare Sheila Thomas, employée d'American Power Source. En mars 2006, UNITE HERE a publié un rapport intitulé « Conduct Unbecoming »(Conduite inappropriée). Sweatshops and the U.S.Military Uniform Industry » (Les ateliers de misère et l’industrie des uniformes de l’armée américaine), qui documentait les conditions de travail déplorables en vigueur dans de nombreuses sociétés de sous-traitants non syndiquées telles que American Power Source. Ce rapport fait appel au ministère de la Défense pour qu’il prenne ses responsabilités en matière de conditions de travail dans ce secteur. ❖

Why We Want a Union UNITE HERE is organizing workers across North America. Here’s why some are fighting for a union.
Por qué queremos un sindicato
UNITE HERE está organizando sindicalmente a los trabajadores por todas partes de Norteamérica. Aquí, algunos de ellos explican por qué luchan por tener una organización sindical.
“ I moved to the US from China to build a better life for my family. I like my job at Guckenheimer and I work hard to keep the customers satisfied. But the managers here don’t reward us for our experience and dedication. I’m standing up for respect on the job. That’s why I want the union.”
“Dynamite Distribution fired me without cause because I believe that the company found out that I was a union supporter. We’re not allowed to speak our first language (Tagalog) at work and are forced to speak English. We’re fighting for better wages, benefits, and for dignity in our working lives.”
“Yo emigré de China a los EE.UU. para construir una vida mejor para mi familia. Me gusta mi trabajo en Guckenheimer y trabajo duramente para mantener satisfechos a los clientes. Pero aquí los gerentes no nos compensan por nuestra experiencia y dedicación. Yo estoy defendiendo que haya respeto en el trabajo. Por eso quiero que haya organización sindical."
“Dynamite Distribution me despidió injustificadamente porque creo que la compañía descubrió que yo estaba apoyando a la organización sindical. No tenemos permitido hablar nuestro idioma natal (tagalo) en el trabajo, y nos obligan a hablar inglés. Estamos luchando por mejores sueldos, planes de prestaciones, y por dignidad en nuestra vida laboral.”

“ I’ve cleaned as many as 26 rooms in 10 hours, and I have to bend over to change sheets, scrub toilets and bathtubs. I take pride in the work that I do. I want a union at my hotel so that management gives us the respect that we deserve.”
“I make uniforms for the US military, and I feel pride knowing that our service men and women wear the clothes that my co-workers and I make. Working for a government contractor, I should be able to take care of myself and my children and not need government assistance. That is why I want a union.”
“Yo he limpiado hasta 26 cuartos en 10 horas, teniéndome que agachar para cambiar sábanas y tallar inodoros y tinas. Estoy orgullosa del trabajo que hago. Quiero una organización sindical en mi hotel para que la gerencia nos dé el respeto que nos merecemos.” Hotels / Hoteles Tracy Smith, Housekeeper, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Rochester, NY Recamarera, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Rochester, N.Y. 20
“Yo fabrico uniformes para el ejército estadounidense, y siento orgullo de saber que nuestros hombres y mujeres en el servicio militar usan la ropa que hacemos mis compañeros y yo. Trabajando para un contratista del gobierno, yo debería tener la posibilidad de mantenerme a mí y a mis hijos sin necesitar asistencia del gobierno. Por eso es que quiero un sindicato.”

159 DÍAS PARA HACER HISTORIA:
Barack Obama y UNITE HERE
P P
ara cuando Barack Obama anunció su candidatura a la presidencia, este joven senador de Illinois y UNITE HERE eran ya buenos amigos. Mientras fungió como senador estatal de Illinois, Barack había trabajado estrechamente con nosotros para hacer progresar las políticas a favor de los trabajadores. Cuando Barack decidió postularse para el Senado Federal de E.U., hizo un llamamiento a UNITE HERE para que lo apoyara. Y aunque su triunfo se veía lejano, nosotros lo apoyamos de corazón porque sabíamos que él iba a ser una voz para los trabajadores en Washington. Desde entonces, Barack Obama ha marchado en nuestras líneas de huelga, se ha sentado de nuestro lado en la mesa de numerosas negociaciones de contratos, y ha votado consistentemente del lado de los trabajadores. Así pues, cuando Obama anunció que se estaba postulando para presidente, con orgullo lo respaldamos. Sin embargo, una larga y difícil campaña de elecciones pri-

UN SINDICATO, TRES ESTRATEGIAS, UNA VICTORIA
En coordinación con nuestros aliados de la federación de sindicatos Change to Win, cientos de afi liados a UNITE HERE se inscribieron para generar las victorias del Partido Demócrata en los 7 estados más competidos: Nevada, Wisconsin, Virginia, Carolina del Norte, Ohio, Pennsylvania e Indiana. Y, de entre estos estados, UNITE HERE encabezó las campañas de Change to Win en Nevada, Wisconsin y Virginia. Nuestro programa político incluía una meta sin precedentes.

l 9 de enero de 2008, UNITE HERE se convirtió en el primer sindicato internacional que dio su respaldo oficial a Barack Obama para presidente. UNITE HERE vio en Obama a un candidato que entendía las luchas del ciudadano común estadounidense y que era capaz de transformar a nuestra nación. Con ese respaldo oficial, los integrantes de UNITE HERE intervinieron en la historia y se embarcaron en una de las más ambiciosas y exitosas campañas políticas que nuestra organización haya emprendido jamás.

at least 300 members from all over the country to devote eight weeks to the campaign. The program would be grueling. It would require everything that the volunteer had to give, and then some. As political volunteers, members had to take a leave from work and, in the cases of Wisconsin and Virginia, travel far from home to form an army for change in Virginia, Nevada and Wisconsin. Not surprisingly, members lined up to answer the call and within short order, 335 members signed up to make history.
Volunteering on the UNITE HERE Obama campaign has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was so satisfying seeing the difference we were making in people’s lives, especially among the very old and the very young. We visited neighborhoods where no one had ever come to register voters. We worked so hard to educate people on the impact voting would have on their communities. At first they did not trust us, but over time, we won their trust and were welcomed in the neighborhoods with open arms. They were so grateful for registration and education efforts. Each day just made you feel great about the change we were helping to bring to our country. Working on this campaign taught me the value of perseverance—the benefit of going that extra mile. I now know that every goal is within our reach when we come together as we did to elect Barack Obama.

VIRGINIA – REGISTER, EDUCATE AND TURNOUT
The story of Virginia is one of enfranchisement— bringing the vote to those who felt left behind. Our Virginia team felt steeped in history, as their state had ignited the Freedom Rides of the 1960s which challenged the institutional racism that persisted in the South despite recent civil rights victories. “Coming to Virginia as a UNITE HERE political organizer gave me the opportunity to help complete the unfinished work started over forty years ago.” Ken Williams, Bell Captain and Head Steward, Double Tree Hotel, Chicago - Local 1, Chicago, Illinois. When it comes to presidential elections, Virginia had voted Republican
“
The volunteers faced and overcame many challenges. “When we first arrived in the neighborhoods, people did not trust us, but we did not give up. We continued to visit the same neighborhoods and talk to the same people and eventually communities grew to trust and welcome us as ‘the people in the red shirts’ who had come to help them vote.” Tony Evans, Bartender and Shop Steward, Golden Gate Field, Local 2850 Oakland, California. Six days a week, our Virginia volunteers visited neighborhoods previously excluded from the political process, in part, because our door-to-door registration drive was the first of its kind in many Virginian neighborhoods. Volunteers regularly met and registered firsttime voters in their 80s and 90s.
UNITE HERE members volunteered in three regions to get out the vote, producing a dramatic increase in voter turnout and an Obama win with 53% of the vote. In addition, our Danville team played an instrumental role in the Democratic victory of the hotly contested Congressional race in Virginia’s 5th District –helping Tom Perriello unseat a 14-year Republican incumbent by 745 votes.

since 1964. How could we reverse this trend? Register new voters and educate them on exercising their voting rights. So on September 5th, 64 volunteers and UNITE HERE staff members arrived in Virginia ready to work throughout the state. With voter registration and education as our focus, UNITE HERE volunteers acted as community organizers, talking with the general public about the changes voting could bring to their neighborhoods.
In Nevada, UNITE HERE’s Obama campaign efforts jumped into high gear during the primary season, when Local 226 members actively campaigned for Obama during the caucus and registered new voters throughout 2007 and 2008. During the general election, Team Nevada had 80 full-time member volunteers on the streets and 30 member volunteers at worksites, talking to union mem-

We went door to door educating people about the importance of voting. Over and over again, we told people that communities that vote—use their political voice—receive more attention from elected politicians.

bers and their families about bringing change to Washington. To win in Nevada, our UNITE HERE team developed a three-prong approach: (1) help naturalize immigrant union members and register them before the 2008 general election (2) persuade the 110,000 Change To Win union members in Nevada to support Obama, and (3) encourage early voting to maximize voter turnout. Our Nevada volunteers worked six days a week during most of the campaign and every day during the two week early voting period—talking with members about the issues, recruiting them to volunteer and encouraging them to vote early. Our political organizers faced apathy and fatigue among voters overwhelmed by the wake of massive foreclosures and economic hardship. “Las Vegas has been ground zero for our country’s economic meltdown—so many people are struggling just to keep their homes. Obama showed a sincere concern and commitment to reversing this trend. Our job was to convince members and their families to engage in the political process in the face of their personal financial crises—to channel their personal frustration into political activism for change.” Rosa Gamboa, Housekeeper, Mandalay Bay Casino, Local 226 Las Vegas, Nevada. During the campaign, Obama visited Nevada 20 times and attended numerous UNITE HERE events, including sitting with us during contract negotiations and making house visits to members facing foreclosures. Obama’s connection with UNITE HERE facilitated

My grandfather was a slave, and yet he told me, when I was growing up, that during my life time, we would elect a Black President. When I met Senator Barack Obama, I knew that my grandfather was right. But I also knew that it was going to take all of our dedication and energy to send him to the White House in 2008. When my union opened the volunteer political organizer Obama program, I signed up right away. I was surprised to find out how many young people seemed not to care about voting, even for Obama. But over the course of two months, we got them fired up and ready to go. And seeing these young men arrive at the polls on November 4th was truly satisfying – to know that we had made a difference and had ignited a new generation of voters. I look forward to volunteering again.
