GP Jimmy Williams Jr.: Being re-elected as the General President of the IUPAT is one of the biggest honors of my life. I take this responsibility seriously, and I want every member to know that my door is always open to you.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td><\/tr>
For the next five years, our union will be focused on bringing more workers into pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs, growing and diversifying our membership, increasing our market share, and flexing our political power. I know together, we can do incredible things, and I believe in the power of our union.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
