With the Election of Officers for IBEW Local 175 coming soon, I have made a few new assignments in the office. Brother Caleb Long has assumed the duties of Construction Dispatcher. Brother Long has made himself available via cellphone (see “The Relay” March edition). The Dispatchers Office remains in good hands.
Brother Toby Shelton will assume the duties of our retiring President, Danny Painter.

Work in our jurisdiction, while not booming, has held pretty steady to have experienced such a tough enemy. We realize that several of you are traveling for work at this time. Thank you for participating in the new UnionWorx referral system. Many have asked for a bid system over the years. This program seems to fit the bill for what you have requested. If you have problems using it, please call the Local Union during regular business hours. Someone in our office will gladly help you.

Our revised referral policy is posted on the Job Information page. Please familiarize yourself with it. It is how we conduct the referral business at IBEW Local 175.
