Eric Lee replied to James H. (Jim) Williams's discussion location, location, location in the group UnionBook Help & Support Network"Jim, People do often list their cities - you can see this in their profiles. Right now, if you search for 'Tacoma' - use the search box in the upper right corner of this page - you'll see two other trade unionists from your city."
