In the following article you will find opportunities to apply and serve on boards and commissions. Many of the positions have the potential to promote the union and working people. Most of them are nonpartisan but do make decisions that affect our industry, livelihood and our families. Should any of these positions be of interest to you I encourage you to apply. If you have questions, please feel free to call me.
Thank You
