The Officers, Executive Board, and Staff of IBEW Local Union 21 would like to wish all of our members and retirees and friends a safe, happy and blessed holiday season.
Thank you to everyone who donated to the IBEW 21 Toy and Coat Drive. Your donations will make a difference in the lives of families in the areas where we live and work. If you would still like to make a difference for a family in need, you can donate in the links above.
With extremely cold weather and snow hitting our area, we remind all members to work safely when helping those we serve. All members should review the safety documentation given to them by their employers.
We All Must Remember - No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take the time to perform our jobs safely.
Many of us will be observing the holidays during the brutal weather headed our way. While we celebrate in warmth, let’s take time to think of the thousands in the communities where we live and work who are not as fortunate as we are. During the next few days, there will be children who are cold because they don’t have a warm coat, socks or boots, and many who will be shivering because they lack shelter.
We are asking all members, retirees and our IBEW 21 friends to donate a minimum of one dollar to help those who lack the basics to survive during these difficult times. Your donations will benefit My Joyful Heart and Never99. If we all contribute, imagine the warmth we can give to those who need it the most
If you are an AT&T employee who is considering retiring by the end of the year because you have concerns regarding how the current rise in inflation is impacting next year's corporate bond rate, it is imperative that you begin the process sooner rather than waiting until the last minute.
As is typical with the holiday season, many managers will be on vacation and not available. Also, Fidelity may need additional time to process your pension calculation if you have any special circumstances that may require a manual calculation.
The sooner you start the process, the more time you will have to resolve any issues or errors that may arise. So again, if you are planning to retire this year, take action now.
The Bears have a bye week and if you are one of those Packer Backers, you have another week to gloat about last week’s win over a team that is rebuilding. Since you will have extra time this weekend, it is the perfect opportunity to donate to the IBEW 21 Toy, Coat, Blanket and Toiletries Drive.
My Joyful Heart helps over 1,100 school children and Never 99 assists countless individuals who are in need of life’s basic necessities. Let’s use our free time this weekend to help those in the communities where we live and work by donating today.
If everyone who receives this message donates just $1, the impact we could make would be incredible.
What’s Up Wednesday
Over the last several days you received emails for Black Friday Deals, Shop Local Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday. Well, we didn’t want this message to get lost in the clutter in your inbox.
The Officers, Executive Board, Business Representatives, Chief and Area Stewards and our Staff would like to wish all of our members a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
As we spend time with our families, please consider helping a child and those who aren’t blessed with all that we are thankful for by donating to the IBEW 21 Toy, Coat, Blanket and Toiletries Drive by clicking here.
IBEW 21 Days of Giving Toy & Coat Drive Kicks Off Today!
As we enter the holiday season, it is time for us to once again brighten the holidays for children and others who live in the areas where we live and work. The IBEW 21 Toy Coat Blanket and Toiletries Drive kicks off today and will run through December 13th.
John Oliver Talks Unions
John Oliver talks about unions and corporate America's tactics to sack them
by hiring union busting attorneys. For workers who are already in a union these
same scumbags teach managers how to destroy the labor relations process.
At the end of the day it is union member’s solidarity that beats them back.
President Biden on the Importance of Unions
President Biden talks about the importance of unions and how they build the middle class.
He supports the right of collective bargaining and the right to join a union.
