Who are we and what do we do?
|
Since 1896,
Ironworkers have been doing more than you realize. We build the
bridges you drive on, the offices you work in, the schools your
children attend, and the stadiums in which you cheer. And we do
it every day. Make sure you have a few spare minutes if you ask
an ironworker: "What did you do today?"

PLEASE NOTE: I am working remotely from Detroit via GoToMyPC and the
Maps (for Gordie and Russ Sullivan) are not cooperating for some
reason. This morning, my return flight to Boston was canceled and I
will not be flying home until tomorrow, but I wanted to get this

town. God bless, Gordie, Russ and John. Jay H

Recently, I have been reaching out
to members in the same manner as I have long reached out to the
elected officials from our local union affiliates.
The feedback from many of the
members is positive, as I highlight upcoming projects, meetings that
we should consider attending, newspaper stories, and issues that
affect our organization, etc.
We also highlight political
issues, BUT, ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF HOW THEY AFFECT OUR LIVELIHOOD.
The intention is not to brainwash you into voting for people you may
not like; but to point out how various candidates perceive Organized
Labor, and why voting FOR certain candidates may not be in your best
interests insofar as working as a union iron worker.
If you wish to be added to the
list, please follow the directions below and your name will be
added. Thanks for your consideration. The more members I can reach
with one keystroke, the more knowledgeable we become as an
organization.

We must continue to

make this training mandatory for all stewards by October 1, 2010,
and, essentially, ALL members as we move forward. This training
is vital to protect Local 7 and their signatory contractors. This is
a list of dates for the next five classes.
It's four hours and fifteen minutes of time that is well spent...

LMCT Safety
Department holds another OSHA 30 class...
|
 |
Recently, t he
LMCT Safety Department held another in an ongoing series of
OSHA 30 classes. Many members who may be out of work due to
the poor economy have taken advantage of this time off by upgrading
their certifications from OSHA 10 to OSHA 30. It is three ten-hour
days of intensive training but it is time well spent, and we commend
them for their pro-active approach to this important training.
Thanks also to Steve Nee from OSHA for assisting the LMCT
Safety Dept. in this matter...
