As we close out 2023 and look ahead to 2024, there is much to be grateful for and excited about in the coming year. Our work picture and job calls have been steadily increasing over the past few months, lifting us up out of what has been a relatively slow year for our local. 2024 is looking to be busier than 2023, with more large T.I. projects, residential developments, and data centers starting over the next several months.
Throughout 2023, we had numerous member events, many with record levels of participation and interest. We will continue hosting these events for our members. I feel it is important to gather with our brothers and sisters as much as possible outside of work and meetings. These activities only bring us all closer together, and in turn, make us a stronger union.
Our training center, the ETASV, is thriving with a strong apprenticeship and a growing number of classes for journeyman upgrade training. These three pillars of strength: robust work picture, engaged and energetic membership, and substantial training program, will continue to hold up our local as one of the best in the IBEW. With the membership’s continued support and effort, we will advance our local’s contracts and reap the pay and benefits we all deserve. I want to personally thank all of you who have contributed to our local’s success and those who continue to make IBEW Local 332 so great. From my family to yours, happy holidays everyone!
In brotherhood,
Pete Seaberg
IBEW LU 332 President
