Brothers and Sisters,


Local Union 99 has formed a Scholarship Committee. There are five members. The Officers include Recording Chairman Stephen Brady, Business Manager Michael Daley, President James Jackson, Daniel Angell and Christopher Capozzi.
 
The Committees’ task is easy, help members interested in attending a post-secondary school with some tuition relief. Of course in the beginning there’s not a lot of money. In fact currently only 1/3 of those working are participating members. Part of the reason for this is that they may have started working before the foundation was formed.


So we are asking all members to consider joining the Scholarship Program by making a charitable contribution for each hour worked.

Our goal is to have all members participating by next year and to open this program to them and their dependent children, but we need your help.

NOW!  If you’re currently a participating member and you are attending classes at the post- secondary level, stop by the office and pick up a scholarship application form.

We won’t be able to pay for the entire course but speaking from experience, every little bit helps.

So let’s make sure when you get your referral, you sign the Scholarship portion of your form. Contribution forms and eligibility forms are available at the business office.

Members participating in ILSR / CCRI classes should fill out application forms for reimbursement.

If you are Unemployed, you could possibly be eligible to take college classes for free. Check with the Bursars office of the college for more information.

Negotiating Committee

This committee consists of the representatives from both the Union and Management who negotiate and review contracts in the Local.

Minority Caucus

This committee is established to discuss and act on the specific concerns and needs from the minority portion of our membership.

LMC Committee

Rhode Island Labor-Management Cooperative Committee is a panel comprised of members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 99 and members of the Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association.  The sole purpose of this committee is to promote sustainable, harmonious relations between management and labor in the complex world of electrical construction.  With this commitment, the committee actively works towards our common goals of advancing our trade in the areas of:  customer satisfaction, safety, craftsmanship, renewable energy, healthy working partnerships and community service. The commitment to these goals rely proudly on our unyielding foundation, which is our Institute of Higher Education known as the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.

 

Brotherhood Fund

The purpose of this committee is to raise funds to support our brothers and sisters in need.  Specifically, if a member is ill or facing extreme finacial hardship. If funds are available, the committee will offer the member a donation to help them through a rough patch.
