Members like you are the backbone of our unions, and your hard work deserves to be celebrated. Our members have been doing incredible work at Watertown, where we are helping to build a new life sciences building that will drive research and innovation. Take a deeper look at this work on pages 4-5.
Last year, we fought hard to close the prevailing wage loophole that contractors exploit to underpay workers who do their work in a shop rather than at a job site. We’re back at it this year with two new bills, HB.106 and S.714, that would close the loophole and ensure fair pay for offsite workers. Learn how to support our efforts on page 15.
We want to make sure members are fully updated on your benefits and how to use them – because you’ve earned them. Learn more and read about your SASMI benefits on page12.
In Solidarity,
Robert Butler President SMART Northeast Regional Council
