Brothers and Sisters,
I hope you and your families have a safe, restful and happy Labor Day! Each and every year, Labor Day is a time for reflection. Every day, but especially on Labor Day, we need to take time to remember all the men and women of the labor movement who risked their jobs and their lives. Through their efforts we can now enjoy the weekends off, a 40 hour work week, and secure wages and benefits that all working families deserve. These benefits should never be taken for granted..
Thank you for all you do every day! I hope you all enjoy a well deserved day off!
Congratulations and best wishes to all those members that retired from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
this year. I would like to personally thank you for your many years of dedicated service to the IBEW and Local 43.
I would also like to congratulate the newly indentured first year apprentices. Good luck and best wishes on a long and successful career with the IBEW.
As you all know, we normally have a buffet dinner and special presentation honoring the newly retired members at the September union meeting.
The new first year apprentices are also sworn into membership with the IBEW at this same meeting.
Unfortunately, this year we were unable to hold the buffet dinner or have the special presentation to the retirees and swearing-in ceremony
for the apprentices due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is my hope that we may be able to hold this event in the future so that we can recognize these two groups of IBEW members.
Fraternally,
Alan Marzullo
Business Manager
