Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you and your families had a safe, restful and happy Labor Day! Each year Labor Day is also a time for reflection.

Please take a minute sometime today, to remember all the men and women of the labor movement who risked their jobs and their lives to fight for the weekend, the 40-hour work week, secure wages and benefits that working families deserve, that we may often take for granted today.

I look forward to greater things ahead for all of us, as a labor movement. Thank you for your hard work and dedication every day. It is deeply appreciated.

I hope you all enjoyed a well-deserved day off!

Fraternally,

Alan Marzullo
Business Manager/Financial Secretary
IBEW Local 43
