Brothers and sisters, I hope this article finds you and yours doing well. It is hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner and that Christmas is only 68 days away. Work has slowed down a little and there are several members on the Out of Work List. Below is the Local 1237 By-Laws language regarding dues assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Article XIII. DUES, FEES, AND ASSESSMENTS, MEMBER BENEFIT FUND AND LOCAL UNION DEFENSE FUND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (iii)Any member who cannot work due to illness or disability for a period of not less than 30 days or who becomes unemployed through no fault of their own for a period of not less than 90 days shall have their basic monthly dues paid for a period not exceed 4 months or until a disability settlement is made, whichever is less (social security, pension, state compensation, etc.). Attending doctor\u2019s certificate must be forwarded to the Union office before a claim will be considered. The certificate must be filed within 60 days from the date of illness or disability. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (iv) To be eligible for Dues Assistance from this fund a member must have paid into this fund for a minimum of 12 months. There also must be a minimum of 12 months between each occurrence and be a member in good standing. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (v) The eligibility of all claims upon the fund shall be determined by the Executive Board. (vi) The Financial Secretary shall give a financial and activity report during the regular business at the monthly Union Meeting. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (vii) Unemployed members must be on the current out of work list and make himself\/herself available for employment at all times and be current on their dues to be considered a member in good standing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The members ratified the above section of the local by-laws to help distressed members in need. If you have any questions, please let me know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Election Day on November 5.<\/sup>, you will be receiving a list of endorsements from DC16, Local 1237, local area Building Trades Council and local area Central Labor Councils. Over the past several months DC16 staff members have interviewed the endorsed candidates, and we recommend them as they have shown that they are friends of labor, pro-labor, and pro-union. If you are wondering why you should vote, please see my last article, or give me a call. If nothing else, you should vote to be part of the democratic process. On the October 1, 2024, Membership Meeting the members endorsed the following candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n State Assembly District 4 Cecilla Aguiar-Curry<\/p>\n\n\n\n State Assembly District 7 Porsche Middleton<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sacramento City Council District 2 Roger Dickenson<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sacramento City Mayor Kevin McCarty<\/p>\n\n\n\n City of Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n City of Elk Grove District 1 Darren Suen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rancho Cordova City Council Dist. 4 Leroy Trippet <\/p>\n\n\n\n SMUD Board<\/p>\n\n\n\n Area 1 Brandon Rose<\/p>\n\n\n\n Area 5 Rob Kerth<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natomas Unified School District<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Area 2 Monique Langer<\/p>\n\n\n\n Area 3 Jonathan Cook<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Sacramento City Council District 1 Norma Alcala<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Sacramento City Council District 2 Tim Campbell<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington Unified School District<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Area 4 Eleanor Sanchez<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stockton City Council<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mayor Christina Fugazi<\/p>\n\n\n\n District 2 Waqar Rizvi<\/p>\n\n\n\n District 4 Mario Enriquez<\/p>\n\n\n\n District 6 Kimberley Warmsley<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sacramento Mayoral race is an especially important race for all of us. Local 1237 endorsed Kevin McCarty who has been a friend of labor for many years in several different offices. Another important race is the Mayoral race in Stockton, Christina Fugazi is another friend of labor. I first met Christina 10 years ago when she had just started her political career and 10 years later, she is the obvious choice for the City of Stockton to move in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In West Sacramento, this race is especially important to us. If we can get Martha Guerro re-elected as Mayor, Norma Acal re-elected in District 1, and Tim Campbell elected in District 2, we are sure to get a PLA with the City of West Sacramento. Earlier this year the Washington Unified School District voted in favor of a one project PLA to test the water, and we will deliver everything we promise, which is on time and on budget. As your Business Rep. I ask you to 1 vote, 2 vote for those candidates who help you put food on your family\u2019s table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fraternalmente,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Randy Rojas<\/p>\n\n\n\n Representante Empresarial<\/p>\n\n\n\n D16\/LU 1237<\/p>\n\n\n\n November Birthdays<\/p>\n\n\n\n Francisco Barba Jorge Carrillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hugo Cervantes Ethan Cooksey<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alvaro Flores Lagunas Enrique Garcia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nathaniel Giron Richard Leach<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus Lizarraga Jose Mares<\/p>\n\n\n\n Edward McDonald Alfredo Murillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lloyd Patterson David Roberts<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jose Rodriguez John Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rigoberto Trujillo Anthony Zertuche<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brothers and sisters, I hope this article finds you and yours doing well.
