Dear Sisters and Brothers:
As you may know, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) will be held August 17, through August 20, 2020, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most events including the nominations of the president and vice presidential will be held virtually rather than in person. I expect several IBEW members to participate in the convention as delegates.
Inside wage allocation ballots were mailed on Thursday. Contact the hall at (253) 475-1190 If you do not receive a ballot in the next few days and believe you should have. The negotiated raise is $2.60 an hour and we recommend allocating $2.48 to wages and NEBF and $0.12 to the 401k.
Please take the time to vote, and make sure to return the ballots to the hall by July 30th.
The Trustees have added 401(K) deferral contribution amounts of $7.00 and $8.00 per hour effective June 1, 2020. Remember the application applies to all participants whose employers are making contributions to this plan on your behalf. The form must be completed by you and returned to your employer.
