Brothers and Sisters,
First and foremost we would like to thank the nearly 700 members that participated in yesterday’s elections, showing our local’s strength and solidary.
We will have the election results posted today on the union boards. Out of the five open seats, four of them have been won outright. However, for Vice President, none of the candidates secured the required 50% plus one vote necessary to fill the remaining position. Therefore, a runoff election is required
Runoff Election Details:
Position: Vice President
Date: Wednesday, March 6th
Location: Union Hall
Time: 5AM – 6PM
We appreciate your continued support for the remaining two candidates in the runoff. I hope to see the same strength in turn out if not more next week as we did yesterday.
We would also like to thank Rob Tiffany and the Election Committee for all the hard work they have done this past week (Shop Stewards Elections/General Elections). The Brothers and Sisters of this Committee ensures the integrity and fairness of our elections.
In Solidarity,
Jim Rugh
President Elect
