Ringing in the New Year

Aloha and Happy New Year to Our Local 675 ʻOhana!!

On behalf of Business Manager, Valentino B. Ceria and Pipefitters Political Action Committee, we thank you for your continued support and involvement in the election process. Your participation in the 2020 Primary and General Elections has been tremendous. Hawaiʻi experienced a record turn out of votes in the 2020 Elections which undoubtedly will only strengthen our democracy and our union ʻohana.

 

Business Manager’s Message

I hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays. I want to thank you all for adapting and facing the challenges of working safely and hopefully staying healthy during the pandemic. As essential workers, we managed and endured through a long trying year unfortunately continuing with COVID-19 and the tribulations of the presidential election still lingering in the air.
