Business Manager's Message
I would like to welcome all of you to our website and I want to encourage all Local 29 members to sign-up for our official union e-newsletter "Watt's Current." Our Local Union and its predecessor System Council and Local Unions published a print version of "Watt's Current" for years. The "Watt's Current" official union email will be distributed at least twice a month, more often when needed, to inform you of any breaking news, such as a change in status, important meetings, charity events and updates in contract negotiations. We hope you are enjoying our new redesigned website....
We look forward to using our communication tools to keep everyone informed on the issues that affect our work lives. Be safe out there and we look forward to your feedback!
