V.O.C. (Volunteer Organizing Committee)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have some organizing goals that I need help with, that is why I would like to start a volunteer organizing committee. We would meet monthly and try some different ways on reaching out to non-union workers. If you’re interested in helping out please give me a call. Thank you for your support in this new position. I look forward to visiting and working with all of you in the future.
Fraternally,
Nick Allen, Membership Development

LOOKING TO BE AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR? Local 532 will be bringing in Pro Union Consulting to put on a 3 day Contractor Business Course for current and future Union Electrical Contractors. This class ranges from building a business plan for success to utilizing grants, rebates, and tax credits for solar and lighting and everything in between. If you are looking to become a Union Electrical Contractor, this class will help get you started in the right direction. If you are already a Union Electrical Contractor, you will still gain valuable information from this class. Class size is limited and a $100 deposit will be required which will be refunded to you upon completion of the training. This class is scheduled for May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2014 here at the Local 532 Training Center. For more information, please contact the Hall.
