The average positivity and death rates in Florida have decreased in October, although Hillsborough County remains a "hot spot". 

We are going to resume our regular unit meetings in November. Masks will be required at all meetings, along with social distancing. Please be safety cautious and considerate of others and their families.

Read the "Solidarity through Safety" article that starts on the front page of the October 2021 edition of "The Electrical Worker". Please get vaccinated!!!

In Solidarity,

On August 5, 2021, the Local's Executive Board heard the Department of Labor's case against IBEW Local 108.  The facts of their reasoning for a rerun were presented. Local 108 was given two options- rerun the election or litigate the case.  After hearing the facts,  the Local's Executive Board recommended that the DOL’s case be litigated.  

After notification of the decision to litigate, the DOL has revised their litigation position, of which numerous allegations are in dispute.  A motion to dismiss the DOL Lawsuit has been filed.
