The IBEW Local 332 Golf Club will once again be stripping the turf off several local golf courses in 2023! Our club has a long tradition of camaraderie and competition. We’re a bunch of electrical workers (and guests) who get together the third Saturday of each month to enjoy a day on the course and each other’s company. We are also an associate club with the Northern California Golf Association and take qualified members to one or two NCGA competitive events each year. Congratulations to Ray Gilcrest, the 2022 IBEW Local 332 Club Champion! 2nd place went to Kevin Kavanaugh, and third place to Mike Vuckson. A special shout out to Mike, our IBEW 332 Part B Pension Plan investment consultant, who had a hole-in-one in October! The glory of that one shot also came with a cash prize. Well done, Mike! We are always looking for new members to join us. You can come as a guest and get an idea of what our monthly tournaments are like.

Epidemiologist Dr. Sara Wuellner led a study for the WA State Dept of Labor & Industries that found apprenticeship training lead to 31% fewer workers compensation claims. “While the study focused on plumbers, it indicates apprenticeships not only provide well-trained workers, they also contribute to a safer workplace,” she said. "On-the-job training, mentorship, and classroom instruction are elements of apprenticeship training that can improve safety." #unionstrong Read more at the link in our bio.

Solidarity with Southwest Airlines pilots who will take a strike authorization vote in May. "Southwest and the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association have been in negotiations for a new contract for years. Union leaders have focused on better work rules and scheduling for Southwest workers. During the travel chaos last month, many pilots and flight attendants were stranded and had to wait on hold to reach schedulers or hotel services. The union’s president, Casey Murray, said it was the first time it has held a strike authorization vote." Read more at the link in our bio. #unionstrong #1u

Zahira Elmansoumi, a residential apprentice, worked on the Nightmare on Barber Lane Halloween haunt. "Fun is the first word that comes to mind regarding the Halloween event.

Journeyman Chris Maag was a key volunteer building the 2022 Christmas tree in downtown San Jose. "Setting up the San Jose Christmas tree was fun, even though it was also a little bit of a fiasco. The City had put some pieces together, and we had to take it apart and put it back together. Then one of the boom lifts was stuck, and we had to send another lift up to get one of our guys. We persevered and got the job done. And that’s how we do things in the IBEW!” Read more about the members who set up the tree at the link in our bio. #unionstrong #IBEW #buildingtrades #1u

Klein will join a board that historically has not included union-affiliated members. In April 2021, he and two other nominees were selected by President Joe Biden to serve on the board, but their nominations were delayed by lengthy negotiations over issues such as states’ representation."

Michael Brotherton, who turned out in June 2022, represented IBEW Local 332 at the Western States Electrical Contest this past fall. “The competition was fierce, and clearly the other contestants had really put in months of training," he said. "The pipe bending was the most fun: you had to be exact, take every measurement, and it got me back into doing things correctly. Though I didn’t win anything, I had a great time, did my best work, and I was proud to represent Local 332."

#TBT to our incredible Halloween haunt, "Nightmare on Barber Lane," and the amazing team of bad-ass 332 electricians who made it all happen! "It took six months with lots of hands-on work, using different aspects of lighting," said Sergio Monzon, lead organizer of the project. "We applied our skills in a real-life scenario. It was great to see some of the apprentices learn new things. And it was amazing for everyone involved to be so creative and see our vision become a reality after working on the weekends and after work. “About 500 members, families, friends, and community turned out for the event. We opened our doors to show what the IBEW is all about. We showcased what we can do with lighting, and that we’re so much more than an on/off switch. The sky is the limit, and we built everything ourselves on a budget.” Read more at the link in our bio. #unionstrong #buildingtrades #IBEW

Please help our #union brother, IBEW Local 332 member Angel Flores, who was in a terrible car accident on Dec. 28 and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. Angel has been an electrician with Blue Arc Electric for nearly 9 years now, and is beloved by all of his co-workers and friends. His smile and positive attitude radiate to everyone he spends time with. Angel was set to get married later this year. Blue Arc and IBEW Local 332 are asking for donations (link in bio) to assist him and his family with the financial impact of the accident. Anything you can chip in will be greatly appreciated.

"Embracing unions can potentially help CEOs combat labor shortages and increase retention, according to the think tank Brookings Institution. In a still-tight labor market where workers might have few qualms about quitting, companies could have little choice but to embrace employees' demands. "'Is going union going to cost the company? Yes,' said Kate Bronfenbrenner, a senior lecturer and the director of labor-education research at the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations. 'But there are other measures — if you have a union, you'll have lower turnover, workers will be more productive. You're less likely to see your best workers quit.'"

Local 332 salutes our veterans--we are proud to have many in our union, including our own 332 Sergeant in Arms Chris Paup. “There’s actually a lot of similarities between the military and the union. I tell people that the IBEW is the most military-like civilian organization I know of in regards to how we as union members have each other’s backs. The similarities go all the way down to the training, where the older, more experienced journeymen take on apprentices. On the military side, I train my airmen much the same way."

From 332 President Javier Casillas: "I want you to ask yourself, 'How did I end up here in IBEW 332?' I will bet with some reflection, you will look to the past with fond memories of the mentors that guided you or continue to help along your career. We are all part of a Union community, and the conditions we make directly affect each other every day. During the holidays, we reminisce with our friends, family, and IBEW family about our lives. This is the season we make resolutions for next year, but you can make changes right now. "Running work in Local 332 is the burden of privilege. When asked, I encourage every 332 member to say yes whenever possible. Who else will protect our collective bargaining agreement and working conditions better than our homegrown 332 talent? "You are IBEW first, and we need to keep improving conditions for the men and women who make our jobs successful. Please be open to input; listen to concerns about safety; show urgency when the outhouses are not serviced regularly; always provide clean and quiet rest areas with tables and chairs; and for any questions about our agreement, call the hall. A paycheck is for the work we do–a thank you for a job well done. These are common decencies we need to maintain, and when you take care of your brothers and sisters, they will take care of you in return."

Local 332 is proud of our partnership with @opfreedompaws, which trains and places service dogs for veterans. The cost for each trained dog is upwards of $20,000, but it is free for the vets. These service dogs are life-changing for many veterans in our community. This November, we held a poker tournament to benefit OFP. We had a great turnout and raised over $2,300. The nonprofit has also been the recipient of 332’s golf tournament donations, and we’ve volunteered many hours installing new lighting and electric heaters at their facility. The union is proud to support such a phenomenal organization." Read more at the link in our bio. #unionstrong #1u #veterans #IBEW

From 332 Business Manager Dan Romero: "This fall, we ratified the Sound & Communication contract. We won the biggest wage increase in our history with a raise of $4.50, demonstrating how the contractors see the value of our members’ skill and work. "I encourage members to spread the word about the S&C NorCal apprenticeship. We are seeing double-digit growth in that industry, and there’s a real opportunity for young applicants. Our commercial apprenticeship gets 3000 applicants a year with a waiting list of 600. The S&C only has a fraction of that, so the odds are good for people to get in. For more information, go to norcal-jatc.com. "Looking ahead to 2023, we are focusing a lot on the residential market. Because of legislation passed by President Biden as well as Governor Newsom, there are federal and state dollars coming down the pike to build affordable housing. We need to ensure that PLAs are in place and that work goes to our members." Read more at the link in our bio.

IBEW Local 332 is proud to be a longstanding supporter of the @YourYWCA Walk a Mile in Their Shoes! "It's one of my favorite and long-standing events that Local 332 supports," said Lilliana Martinez, a fourth-year apprentice and co-captain of the event. "I look forward to it every year. The cause behind the Walk a Mile event seems to resonate with our members on a personal and community level. They are more than willing to continually support the services that YWCA provides for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. And through this connection to the YWCA, our local has increased sponsorship amounts, donations and member participation over the years." Thanks for the shout-out, @ibewio!
