As Twin Rivers pushes to expand, remember that every single bit of construction done at the facility since it's inception has been done 100% union. On top of that, the proposed expansion is estimated to create another 300 unionized jobs within the facility. Find the time and make the effort to secure future work for yourself, for your families, and your IUPAT brothers and sisters!

Stand up against Verizon's Corporate Greed!
Last August, 45,000 members of CWA & IBEW went on strike in order to pressure Verizon to bargain. The company went back to the negotiating table, but many issues remain unresolved and no contract is in sight. Verizon wants to eliminate jobs and promote outsourcing. Workers want to save their health benefits.

IUPAT TEXT MESSAGING is set up to inform members of jobs through out the country and also District Council 11 news and events. Please contact your Representative on how to get started. 

In Progress.
