DECEMBER 2020

 

HOLIDAY GRATITUDE

We are reaching the end of another year, around this time we are usually surrounded by family and friends, holiday parties and gatherings but as we are all experiencing a new time in our lives, I would like thank and send much gratitude to each and everyone of our members and their loved ones during this trying time. The work all of our Brother and Sisters have dedicated during this unprecedented time is much appreciated. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. We hope even though we are not able to gather around for our normal Union Holiday festivities you take this time to relax and enjoy some well-deserved time to yourself.

 

OPERATION CHRISTMAS BASKET

By the time this reaches you the raffle will have already been held. We would like to thank all of our members and contractors who participated in this year’s Operation Christmas Basket Raffle. It is times like these where we pull together to help out our Brother and Sisters in need and what it truly means to be a part of the Union Brotherhood.

 

NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION

The next scheduled New Member Orientation class is set for January 23, 2021. The first class starts at 9 am and is for the CECW and Sound & Communications classifications. We will be sending a reminder for all those scheduled a week prior and the zoom invite will go out the day before. If you missed the last class you should be receiving a reminder for this one. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending.

 

DEFERRED SAVINGS DEPOSITS

The Trust Office is running into some issues regarding member’s account deposits. We ask that you be sure when completing your EFT form you also submit a check or direct deposit slip, it is required to ensure they get the correct routing and account numbers to make a deposit. Their office will be sending out letters to those member’s whose accounts were rejected. If you still have not completed your EFT form please contact Teresa Raney at traney@uastpa.com to get one submitted.

 

HEALTH & WELFARE OPEN ENROLLMENT

Open enrollment is currently in progress and a packet should have been mailed to your home. If you are thinking of changing health care providers now is the time. Please contact Teresa Raney at 916-923-0666 or email her directly at traney@uastpa.com.

IBEW Founders Scholarship – For all IBEW Members (not dependents)

The IBEW Founders’ Scholarship honors the dedicated wiremen and linemen who organized the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on November 28, 1981. Each year the officers of the IBEW are pleased to offer its working members scholarships on a competitive basis. It is hoped that the awards will not only contribute to the personal development of our members but also steward the electrical industry that our founders envisioned. The award is for $200 per semester credit hour at any accredited college or university toward an associate’s, bachelors or postgraduate degree in an approved field. The maximum distribution is $24,000 per person over a period not to exceed eight years.

Any member interested in applying for the IBEW Founders Scholarship can do so by going on-line at www.ibew.org. Click on “Resources and Links” at the top, scroll down to the box labeled “Founders Scholarship”. You will receive information on this scholarship as well as be able to download the application.  These applications can also be picked up at the Business Office.  This scholarship is for any member who has been in continuous good standing and paid dues (without an Honorary Withdrawal for the four years prior to May 1, 2019). This is not a scholarship for your dependents.  All applications and required information must be mailed directly to the IBEW in Washington, DC and must be postmarked May 1, 2021.
