Thanks Dad

Hermanos y Hermanas, 

I hope this article finds you working steady and looking forward to summer. We are starting to get busy and currently the Out of Work List is at one. If you are not currently working, please call the hall and put your name on the list. If you know of someone looking to get into the trade, please have them call me. On June 3, 2025, at the Membership Meeting the members voted to allocate the $3.75 wage increase effective January 1, 2025. The option with the most votes was:

Wage $1.00

Health and Welfare $0.50

IUPAT Pension $0.19

Annuity $1.25

DC16 JATC $0.06

Market Recovery $0.25

Holiday/Vacation $0.50

On July 1, 2025, your new Executive Board is as follows:

With Father’s Day this Sunday, I wanted to take this time to recognize that Local 1237 has several father and son members, Edward Sr and Edward Valencia Jr, Royd and Austin Snyder, Todd and Ronnie Rose, Tony and Anthony Ringor, and Randy and Colby Rojas (if I missed you, I apologize). As a father to Coby, it has been a blessing to see him start the trade, finish his apprenticeship, and become the tradesmen I hoped he would be. When he stepped up and joined the Executive Board as the Treasurer, and then he was elected Vice-President, to say I was proud would be an understatement. I am proud of all our members accomplishments but when one you have been with them since they took their first breath, it truly is a gift.
