Excellent package illustrates the bargaining process—using boxes of info to illustrate member involvement at various steps along the way. Well-executed member quotes on contract issues. Well-organized front to back, with page heads announcing different categories. Easy-to-read typeface, good headlines. Nice use of full-color photos, including photo spreads showing members at work. Excellent graphic showing survey results on choosing health plan. Outstanding publication.

Interesting and unique format and color use. A little work on photo selection and display, along with more judicious color usage will make this publication a bonafide competitor.

Good content—nice mix of national and local issues, use of pictures. Lavish attention to members and multiple bylines help make this publication readable and interesting. Not preachy, yet conveys the union message consistently and well.

Very informative. Consistent and effective use of graphics and art—reader friendly. Good strike coverage. Deft use of color and photographs. Layout is restrained yet highly effective.
