IBEW President

Dear Brother and Sisters,

As you are aware from our last two newsletters and the recent mailing to all 949 Stewards our International President, Edwin Hill, has called upon our membership to become activists on behalf of the Brotherhood.  The action sought on your part is to promote internal organizing within our membership, actively seeking out organizing leads, to organize the “unorganized” and to become more politically involved.

As we go forward in 2008, the Representative staff and I will discuss this further with you at your unit meetings.  All will be asked to make a commitment and participate on behalf of our membership.

I encourage all of you to give this call to action serious consideration so we may become stronger and grow our Brotherhood. Click here to sign up to help with the organizing efforts.

I look forward to working with you in the future and to our mutual success.

 Fraternally,

VINCENT R. GUERTIN
