Summer is rapidly approaching, and now is the time to make sure you are ready for work.  Is your vehicle ready, do you have a spare change of clothes, are your dues paid up and do you have copies of current certifications?  Don’t be caught unprepared when the dispatcher calls for work.

Spring is on the way; soon, the grass will begin to grow, which points to the beginning of Ohio's construction season.  The orange barrels will start to blossom along the roadways, and our loved ones will be in the work zones taking care of the Infrastructure maintenance needs.  Be careful in your travels and slow down in the work zones. The life you save is someone’s family member.

Joe Biden was just sworn into office as the 46th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2021.  It didn’t take him long to start undoing some of the Trump big business appointees. On his first day in office, he fired Peter Robb, General Counsel at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and a day later, Robb’s deputy Alice Stock was terminated.  Both people were management representatives stacking the deck at the NLRB against worker’s rights to organize.  President Biden has so far been picking pro-union people as his appointees, including Marty Walsh for Labor Secretary.
