L.U. 1531 (i&o), ALBANY, GA — Members of our local are making significant strides toward the IBEW’s ambitious goal of reaching 1 million members. Despite being a smaller local, the solidarity and dedication of its members are unwavering.
Recently, a remarkable 36% turnout was observed as members eagerly participated in a volunteer Construction Organizing Membership Education Training, or COMET, class, which demonstrated their commitment to the cause. This collective effort, especially in the midst of upcoming negotiations, serves as a testament to the unity and strength within Local 1531.
The success of this training initiative wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable support from the Fifth District and the IBEW Education Department. Their dedication to empowering members and locals through training programs has been instrumental in driving progress toward the overarching goal.
Local 1531 is proud to contribute to the larger IBEW community, remaining steadfast in its commitment to advancing member interests while upholding the values of solidarity and unity.
Clay Pelham, B.M.
