We just returned from the 54^th CBTU Convention held in Orlando, Florida and what an amazing event to be a part of!! This year I was joined by 11 members of DC16 from various trades and local unions. Once again, we were empowered, reinvigorated and educated in ways we can make this industry better for tradespeople all over the country and beyond. We attended workshops and breakout sessions where we learned important values such as getting back to basics, how to begin organizing in our own communities, how important community engagement is and how community partnerships create pathways for the youth to be educated about the benefits of being a union member.

This is just a reminder.
