Attention All Members,

Please see the below message from the Local 488 Election Committee.

Thank you to all who accepted a nomination to the Local 488 Election Comittee at the January 18th meeting.

As a reminder, the intention of the Election Committee was to hold an electronic vote for our 2025 committee however, upon further review of the candidates by the Election Committee, it was determined that two (2) of the candidates are on another Committee and one (1) candidate is an employee of a Local 488 affiliate.

The following will form the Election Committee by acclamation:

Rod Boisvert

George Montgomery

Chris Oele

Russ Puchala

James Tworek

Thank you to all who volunteered for this position, congratulations to our new Committee and thank you to our previous committee members for the time and effort they put in during their tenure. 

We are excited to invite you to join us for the upcoming PAC Listening Campaign, an initiative focused on gathering your perspectives, concerns, and insights to better represent our union’s interests. This is a unique opportunity to have your voice heard and to contribute directly to shaping our path forward. Why Attend? Your input will play a crucial role in guiding the PAC’s priorities and actions. By participating, you’ll help ensure that our advocacy efforts reflect the true interests and needs of our membership.

Let’s come together, share our thoughts, and strengthen the solidarity of Local 488. We look forward to seeing you there!
