Business Manager Comments   

I would like to thank the members of Local 776 for their support!  At the May union meeting we had nominations, and it is an extreme honor to once again be elected by the membership to serve in such a vital role.  I try to the best of my ability to continue improving Local 776 every day.  Thank you!!!

With the golf outing coming up on June 7^th, I would like to thank Mitch Frese for the time that he puts into the outing every year.  We have 35 teams signed up this year and it is a lot of time and planning for Mitch to execute this event every year.  Top notch job Mitch!

Chewy’s Corner

First of all, Thank you for electing me for Business Agent, I am looking forward to representing all of you and hope I do so in the way you would want me to.

Secondly, All jobs in 776 require a referral before you go out to work, regardless of how you got out (Letter or from Job auction). So, pick up your referrals and make them pension credits.

Thanks, Chewy

Fraternally,                                                                                                                                                   In Solidarity,
