As you were all informed in June 2020 we extended the Collective Bargaining Agreement until October 31, 2020 because in-person negotiations were not possible. As we have done in past practice we would like to take contract proposal recommendations from the membership. Therefore, please go to the following link/email address myunioninfo@local28union.com and submit your contract proposals with your I.A # included. We will accept proposals until September 7, 2020.

In July 2015, the Union instituted a special assessment of thirty-five cents ($0.35) per hour for all journeypersons and apprentices in order to satisfy a back pay order issued by the Court. Because the back pay obligation ended on July 22, 2020, the $.35 per hour assessment also ended on that date and will be reflected in payroll starting on July 23rd.

Due to the “New York on Pause” order, we are required to cancel the membership meeting for April. This does not mean the Local is not here for you.

We have sent out numerous communications through our online outlets and we will continue to do that so the membership can stay informed. Please share these outlets with members who might not be aware of them and share the contact list as well.
