Brother Corley has had a long and distinguished career organizing workers and bringing them into the Labor Movement. "Bill Corley will be a great steward of the Organizing Roundtable as we seek to move the Organizing agenda of labor in Massachusetts forward. We understand that Organizing must be linked to everything we do - politics, legislation, community service, everything.

Last Year's Signings Reap This Year's Gains for California Locals and ContractorsWhen Corporate Construction Services signed a letter of assent with Martinez, California, IBEW Local 302 in May 2005, the firm scored a double play. They recruited highly-qualified electricians and installers for their projects. Then co-owner Gary Bauer switched his twin sons, Mark and Paul, from an open-shop apprenticeship to the IBEW's joint apprenticeship training program. "Our instructors and journeymen working with the Bauer brothers are impressed with their determination and desire to become qualified IBEW journeymen inside wiremen," says "Bart" Barton, Local 302 organizer. "Gary Bauer is the kind of guy you want to work for," Barton states. "He follows our agreements." |
