It's with great sadness that we share that our union brother Larry Guida passed away February 9 following a long battle with cancer. Larry worked in the construction industry as an IBEW local 332 electrician for more than 35 years before deciding to retire. The family will be having a celebration of life in the coming months and will post details regarding the event on the obituary page (linked in our bio) as it gets closer. If you would like to honor Larry, there were many causes that were dear to his heart. He was always helping people in need and you can give a donation to the following organization in his name: Hero Tent-Here for the Heroes. This organization is a young group of black activists in San Jose. Using "radical optimism" and "human empowerment" they are picking up where systems have failed using the power of community to make change. They are always providing relief and resources to the San Jose's homeless population. Helping people in need, specifically the homeless, was a community problem that was close to Larry's heart. To show your support, you can follow Hero Tent on Facebook or Instagram @hero_tent. Additionally, if you would like to make a monetary donation in Larry's name you can donate through their social media links or via Venmo, their name is herotent. In the words of Larry, "Live long and prosper."

"Projects where there was a mix of union and non-union labor still showed a productivity gain of 8% compared to exclusively non-union projects. The report found that projects employing union labor require nearly 10% fewer craft workers, on average, than projects using non-union labor. The study also confirms that union labor delivers lower and more predictable project costs and more predictable schedules. While it established that union labor is significantly more productive than non-union labor, and that the higher productivity is linked to overall cost savings, it also showed that union labor was 40% less likely to experience a shortage of skilled labor. Projects that are short on labor are twice as likely to have a 10% or higher cost overrun and are more likely to have a schedule slip by 25% or more."

Welcome to the #IBEW family, Boston convention center workers! "Workers at Boston's convention centers have been dealing with subpar pay and poor working conditions for years. So when they got the chance recently to join Local 103, a group long known for its experience and for going to the mat for its members, they were all in. The workers, who work for the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the Hynes Auditorium and Boston Common Parking Co., include electricians, plumbers, carpenters, HVAC technicians and others who do the wiring for all the trade shows, as well as day-to-day operations at the facilities. It's a diverse group of individuals, but they were unanimous in their desire to get better representation. "We're just here trying to do better for our families," said maintenance electrician Colm McDonagh, who helped with the organizing drive." Read more at the link in our bio. #unionstrong

"Democrats in Congress have reintroduced a bill to fundamentally rewrite America’s broken labor law on Feb. 28. The bill — known as the PRO Act — was renamed the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act in honor of the late AFL-CIO leader, who died in 2021." It would overhaul anti-union labor laws to help workers organize unions and negotiate first contracts. Read more at the link in our bio. #unionstrong #PassThePROAct

Goooo Michigan! 🥳 Both Michigan's House and Senate have passed a bill to repeal the state's right-to-work(-for-less) law in a big victory for working people. "Today, we are showing the world that Michigan is not only where we make things and build things, it's where the people who do so are respected," said state Sen. Darrin Camilleri, D-Trenton, who introduced Senate Bill 34 repealing Michigan's right-to-work law for private sector workers that passed on a party-line vote."

"The job of a foreman may come with a bigger paycheck, but a key downside to the job has been that it hasn’t historically come with an instruction manual. "That’s been changing, though, thanks to the decision by the IBEW’s Seventh District to create a foreman education and training program called the Foreman’s Development Series. “When you become a foreman, too often you learn on the job, getting tips from here and there,” said FDS Executive Director Tom Ross, a retired longtime member of Albuquerque, N.M., Local 611. “You make a whole lot of mistakes and hope you get better at it.” “Our hope is that FDS shortens that learning curve,” added Ross, who for many years has worked with the New Mexico JATC and has been overseeing FDS since 2020."

Google could potentially delay construction on its downtown San Jose megacampus, which would also delay community benefit funds.

Congratulations to our newest #IBEW brothers and sisters! The IBEW successfully organized about 350 freelancers working for PGA Tour Entertainment.

Love this! Commissioners in Harris County, Texas, approved a $9.1 million contract that will double enrollment in union apprenticeships in the building and construction trades. Additionally, the investment will create two new apprenticeships, one in the entertainment industry and one in the transportation industry. The investment is part of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act and represents one of the largest apprenticeship investments in the country. “Building a better, more resilient labor force—by investing in our workers—is an essential investment in the future of Harris County,” said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. “Apprenticeship programs provide an avenue to high-wage careers without the need for a traditional four-year college degree.” Read more here: https://aflcio.org/2023/2/22/service-solidarity-spotlight-harris-county-texas-commissioners-approve-historic

Musician and consultant Stephanie Matthews of AFM Local 47 in Los Angeles has a message: “We are here.” That message is directed at anyone doubting the level of Black string talent in today’s music industry. And she should know. Matthews has put together string sections for some of the biggest stars. In 2020, she assembled an all-Black, all-female orchestra for Lizzo’s opening performance at the Grammy Awards. At the 2022 Academy Awards, she brought together the ensemble for Beyoncé’s opening performance of “Be Alive,” from "King Richard," which she says was an incredible experience. Also this year, Matthews gathered orchestra musicians for composer and pianist Robert Glasper’s salute to Duke Ellington at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. #BlackHistoryMonth #unionstrong

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.
