  • Great to have a personal connection to the General President of the UA, besides my Local Union

    What a fun modern move by the UA to open up communications on a personal level from our GP. Thanks for keeping in touch in a format that everyone can access and be in touch with those who guide our union into the future. Looking forward to the next podcast and those beyond. It is a welcome addition to the UA and all members and future ones will benefit. Thanks, Dana Levy Local 230, San Diego

  • Forgot

    Very nice I’m glad that we have a way of communication. Unfortunately you forgot to mention HVAC and service technicians, but we’re usually forgotten when it comes to this.
