A few important updates to keep in mind.
Upcoming job calls:

There are some nice size projects coming up in our Local area:
UC Merced new Medical Center, Northfork Casino in Madera, Fresno Air Terminal,
Terry Bradley Education Complex, Sequia National Park, Modesto Courthouse, Kaiser Fresno, Merced Jail, just to name a few.
Safety reminders:

Participate, your voice matters, union strong means union involved.
Work goes on at the Capwell Building in Oakland. It is a good feeling to have our own building again. It was great seeing everyone that came to the General Meeting on May 3, 2025. Our first General Meeting at the New Capwell Building.
In solidarity,
