Clinton Library L.U. 295 (em,i,o,rtb,rts,spa&u),
LITTLE ROCK, ARAt this writing, your Negotiating Committee is hard
at work, and by the time you read this we should have a new agreement.
The Pine Bluff Arsenal project is laying off, with scheduled completion
in September. Work in town is currently slow. Construction on the
William J. Clinton Presidential Library project has begun. Peak
manpower should be mid to late next year. It is expected that this
project will bring a construction boom to both sides of the river
walk. We intend to make every effort to secure our part of this
work.

100th Anniversary L.U. 309 (i,lctt,mo,o,rts,spa&u),
COLLINSVILLE, ILWe will be celebrating our 100th anniversary on
Sept. 28, 2002, with a dinner dance at the Collinsville Convention
Center. Originally chartered in East St. Louis, IL, on Sept. 11,
1902, Local 309 has a long and proud history of furthering the union
cause on the "East Side," the historic industrial heart
of the St. Louis metropolitan area.
U.S. Representative Jerry Costello, a stalwart friend of labor,
is expected to be the keynote speaker. Thanks to all committee members,
especially retired members and spouses, for all the hard work in
preparation for this event.
Local elections were held in June and we congratulate newly elected
Bus. Mgr./Fin. Sec. Jim Berger, officers and committee members.
Please see our Web site at ibew309.org for a complete listing.
In the work picture, we are holding our own. Aggressive organizing
in both new and existing industries has enlarged our membership
and increased union share of key markets including a "comeback"
in residential wiring and a reassessing of opportunities in that
market.
Mike Faust, P.S.
