L.U. 292 (em,govt,i,rtb,rts&spa), MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Our local will be negotiating contracts for the majority of our members this year, including the inside construction and maintenance agreement and the limited energy agreement. We expect work to pick up this summer and hope we will be in a strong position to negotiate a good contract.
Now is the time to come together and turn out to show solidarity for a strong contract. To stay informed on the progress of negotiations, download the Local 292 app. Search “IBEW292” at the App Store or Google Play or go to ibew292.org/resources.
2024 is an important election year. We are hoping to maintain a labor-friendly majority in the Minnesota House and gain a labor-friendly majority in the U.S. House. Most important is reelecting Joe Biden as president. Biden is the most pro-labor president we have ever seen and a close friend of the IBEW. Please consider getting involved this year to help share our collective pro-labor voice and help us elect pro-labor candidates. You can find out more political information, including how to register to vote, at ibew292.org/political.
The Sherco Solar project, a 710-megawatt utility-scale solar project, is expected to ramp up again soon. With that, along with the prospect of a couple of data centers and a strong bonding bill passed last year by the Minnesota Legislature, we hope to see a much improved work picture this spring and summer.
Andy Snope, Bus. Rep.
