Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our regular Service + Solidarity Spotlight series, we'll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
As part of their effort to better connect the members of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) with the work of the international and local unions, IFPTE’s President Matthew Biggs and Secretary-Treasurer Gay Henson have launched a program to increase communication and interaction.
This campaign recently launched with a pilot program in New Jersey, which has been a target of the anti-union Freedom Foundation. IFPTE’s Member Engagement and Mobilization (MEMO) Program will include local union newsletters, regular engagement activities such as raffles and surveys of members to find out their concerns and priorities.
