  1. How come a council representative used to be required by Dennis Walsh to cross train and learn the whole carpenter trade to represent the members and now they are only hiring dock builders for these positions?
    Past dock builders and timber man have been Business reps on drywall and woodwork jobs. They even used to pair up reps so they would have the trade covered. Boy things are changing down there at the Council. Maybe if a woodworker was elected EST there would be woodworkers being hired as reps?

  2. Now that Dennis has his sights set on other personal goals, he could care less

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
