¡ATENCIÓN!

Hermanos y Hermanas,

Hope today finds you well. DC16 Directors, Representatives, Organizers and Several Executive Board members just completed training with General President Jimmy Williams on the IUPAT Build Union Power Campaign. Myself and Juan Rosales will be first giving the Training to our Local Union 294 Executive Board and then begin after with the LU 294 General Membership. The class is very informative regarding the History of Unions in General but focused on the IUPAT. When notified of the time and location of the class please make every effort to attend. Unions need power and the membership is the fuel that builds and maintains that power.

The Northern California Painters and Drywall Finisher Master Agreement negotiations have begun. BM/ST Williams and his team are working hard to bring the best possible deal back to the members for ratification. Be sure to show up and vote on your Master Agreements. Once those agreements are Ratified, we will then begin to negotiate the Fresno Area Addendums. 

We are living in some really turbulent times right now. We have our US Troops fighting a war in Iran. I am not writing this to be political. I am writing this to ask that you please keep America’s Service Members in your thoughts and Prayers regardless of your opinion of this War. Thank you.

Don’t forget to pay your dues. Work Hard Work Safe!

En unidad,

Jeffery B Roberts
