Brothers, Our next union meeting is scheduled for June 10th at 6:00 at the union hall.  Rob Larzalere and Mike Kubena have reached out to restart the food for our union meetings.  They will be cooking burgers and hot dogs starting at 4:00 so come early and enjoy some food.

   Members, The 32nd IUEC General Convention will be held in Las Vegas September 27 – October 1 this year.  The International is creating a commemorative convention book featuring all the locals.  Local 23 is gathering pictures of our officers, writing a paragraph about our local and looking for some pictures for our pages in the book.

I have received several inquiries into the Oregon Work Share Program recently.  This program is a long-standing program through Oregon unemployment to assist those workers receiving reduced hours.  To date, of the four major elevator companies, I have signed applications for two of them.  Note: The state requires the unions signature on the application filled out by the employer.
