L.U. 1 (as,c,ees,ei,em,es,et,fm,i,mt,rts,s,se,spa,st,ws&ptc), ST. LOUIS, MO — Electing officials who are friends of labor has a huge impact in keeping area standards and codes current and improving the quality of life for our members. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page has appointed four members of Local 1 to boards that maintain electrical standards.
Dawn Pluto, a full-time instructor at our training center, was named to the Board of Electrical Examiners. Sabrina Westfall, Mark Green and Bill Clements have been appointed to the St. Louis County Electrical Code Review Committee. Sabrina is the owner of J. West Electric, Mark has a degree in electrical engineering, and Bill is a journeyman wireman, which meets the standard requirement of having a contractor, engineer and electrician on the committee.
Electing an alderman/councilman, mayor, governor and president is an obligation all union members should take seriously. These offices make appointments to committees, commissions and boards that create or revoke policies affecting a union’s ability to effectively represent the interests of its members.
As we focus on this election season, take the time to pick candidates you know will best advance the freedoms to join and participate in a union.
Kyle Hunter, P.S.
