Message from President Pat Tirino

Dear members we are in the middle of an organizing/solidarity campaign and we need your help. I wanted to thank you for attending the Construction Organizing Members Education Training (C.O.M.E.T) classes and we wanted to keep up the momentum because it's working. Our Union membership has grown and the work hours are increasing as well.

Construction in our area has been increasing and we are attempting to fill positions in our industry. We need your help to attract all workers due to the shortage. I'm asking if you can post on your social media platforms our ad. There is no obligation but we recognize that we need all hands on deck to continue the growth of our Union.

Thank You in advance.
