WELCOME  DIRECTOR  LAVENTURE

 

During the week of December 18, District 12 Director, Bob LaVenture paid a visit to Local 338 to speak with our members and to answer questions regarding the tentative 2010 contract agreement. A native of Wisconsin, he served 5 terms as President of Local 3740 at International Harvester  in Waukesha, Wis. Since 1970 he has been instrumental in the development and implementation of worker education and career development programs. He served as an AFL-CIO coordinator, USW Staff Representative in Oklahoma then later becoming Sub Director for Oklahoma and Arkansas. In 2003, Bob relocated to Albuquerque, N.M, to fill the roll of Assistant Director prior to becoming Director of District 12. In the past three years I've had the opportunity to work with Bob on several initiatives and have gained a lot of respect for his work ethic and for his commitment to our members.

KEEPING THINGS CURRENT........

 

Does the Company and Union have your current address and phone number? Having accurate information so we can contact you is important. It's also important to update who your designated beneficiary is whenever a change has occurred.  Your pension and life insurance will only pay-out to the person who was last listed as your beneficiary. On more than one occasion we have been asked to help a spouse or a dependant of  a deceased member try and get benefits only to find out that the employee failed to list them as the benefactor. Act now to protect your family and intended beneficiary. To update your life insurance beneficiary statement contact Vicki Bell at 927-6427. To update your pension beneficiary statement contact us here at the union hall.
