Local 332 President Javier Casillas: The Conditions We Make (1 of 4)
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.

Our Condolences
Local 332 honors our members who have passed away during the pandemic. We honor their lives and their years of service in the field. Our hearts go out to their loved ones during the holidays which is always a hard time of year. There have been no deaths since the last newsletter. Always let us know at the hall.
