I absolutely love listening to this podcast. I get something out of every episode. It’s great to hear from members across the US and Canada. I love that our membership is so diverse and each and every one of us has our own story. Keep up the good work!

Great insights into the UA! Whichever brother or sister produces this should get a raise, it is thoroughly entertaining.
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
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.
