Day on the Hill: |
January 23rd, 2012
|
| The IBEW 292 annual Day on the Hill will be held this year on March 6, 2012. Our day on the hill event gives you an opportunity to meet with your local legislative representatives and express to them what you think is important you. This individual discussion has proven to be much more effective than our efforts as a group. There is some important legislation coming up this year; a new bonding bill and a new vikings stadium project bill which will help put our members back to work. One of the most damaging pieces of legislation which will be introduced this year is a "right to work" referendum. Our legislators need to be educated on how damaging this referendum, if it were to become law, would be to the working men and women of this state as well as further damaging our fragile economic situation. Please mark your calendars and make every effort to attend this important event. If you are able to attend, please notify the office at 612-379-1292 (or email office@ibew292.org ) to RSVP so we can order enough red shirts to increase our visibility when we "take the Hill" on March 6th. |
