Watch Your Mailboxes Starting This Week -Survey Coming

Be sure to watch your mailboxes in the coming week, as we are mailing an official survey to all members. We are also going to give you a chance to respond by emailing and texting the survey to you.

This survey will cover several important items, so please be sure to keep a close eye out.

1. A New Logo: We will be giving you three options of logos to vote on and the winner will become the new Local 23 logo.
2. Confirming Contact Info: We will be asking all members to confirm and update their contact information – email, cell, and address – so that we make sure when we send out important union information, you are receiving it.
3. Feedback From Members: We want to hear from you about your top priorities and concerns for our union moving forward.
4. Raffle Entry: All members who complete and submit the survey will automatically be entered into a raffle. First prize: 65” Flat Screen TV. Second Prize: Level. Third Prize: Trowel. To be entered into the raffle, the survey must be completed by no later than July 15 at 11:59 p.m.

We hope all members take a few minutes out of their day to complete this survey.

If you are not aware, there was an accident with a non-union contractor in the Cleveland area. The craft workers working for Southwest Companies were restoring the façade on a 125-year-old building. Their swing stage scaffolding collapsed leaving two workers hanging from a harness and one self-rescued on a window ledge. Cleveland Fire & EMS had to rescue the workers.

As union craft workers, our safety and training are paramount. It’s hard to know what, if any, safety training was provided to those nonunion employees.

We are going to continue to keep the public informed about the need to hire union craft workers to keep everyone safe.
