L.U. 47 (lctt,mo,o,u&uow), DIAMOND BAR, CA — Greetings, brothers and sisters. Business Manager/Financial Secretary Colin Lavin looks forward to the changes coming as we continue to grow the IBEW’s jurisdiction and cause and defend ourselves against any opposition that threatens our Brotherhood, including external threats. Some other trades are moving in on laws so they will benefit and steal our way of life. Make no mistake, we have a fight on our hands. The future has plenty of work for all the trades to share. Some, however, want to take our work. Get ready for tomorrow, and be prepared for change that will happen when least expected. Plan your job and work your plan. Please stay safe and work safe so our families can see us when we come home.
- Our business updates are:
- Southern California Edison arbitration regarding the termination of Ridgecrest Construction Maintenance Accountant Teri Paradise was settled prior to arbitration for $220,000.
- SCE production specialist bargaining continues.
- Los Angeles Angels baseball maintenance agreement negotiations continue.
Local 47’s Steward and Safety Conference will be held June 8.
We’re sad to report the deaths of Aaron Boucher and Andrew Crist. Our condolences and prayers are with their loved ones.
Work safe and buy union!
Mitch Smith, P.S.
