Congrats!

Posted July 26, 2024

Brothers and Sisters,

 I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the apprentices that attended the DC 16 Apprenticeship Graduation on Saturday July 20. A special shout out to Local 487 member Carlos Velasco, who was awarded Apprentice of the Year for Commercial Painters. I am proud of each and everyone of you. You all worked hard to complete the program and are now Certified Journeyman for your craft. Please take a moment to congratulate those new Journey workers and continue to help and elevate each other to be the best in our industry.

In Solidarity, 

William Gonzalez
