Posted junio 13, 2025

Elections were held at our June 4th Local Union 913 Membership meeting. Patrick Nixon ran against the sitting President Adam Cortez. All other Executive Board positions ran unopposed. President Cortez won the Election and will continue to serve.

The 913 Executive Board is as follows;

President Adam Cortez


Vice President Sammy McGuire


Recording Secretary Nicholas Popielak


Financial Secretary Walter Silva


Treasurer Harry Winford


Warden Tony Khuri


Trustees John Gould, Tariq Mabrey & Lajeana Thompson

It has been noticed that many Skills Based STAR Class are either full or have no posted class for the next semester. If you are interested in taking classes that are not listed, like Wallcovering, Faux Finish, Confined Spaces Etc. You can always contact your business representative to be put on a waiting list. All the reps share a link to the waiting lists and once 5 people are on the waiting list a class will be created and posted on the website for everyone to sign up for. 

The certs required in our current CBA are obviously important safety certs and needed to be dispatched. But taking other skills-based classes can help make you a valuable asset to your company and help keep you steadily employed. Did you know the average age of a wallcovering installer is 48-58 years old. There are more installers retiring than there is coming into the trade, but the wallcovering industry is not going anywhere. Hotels, hospitals, healthcare facilities and just about any building with high traffic lobbies and hallways utilized wallcoverings of all different sorts. Familiarizing yourself with this skill could open a word of opportunity.
