Please help spread the word! In an effort to make a final legislative push, the Climate Jobs Illinois Coalition (CJI) will be holding a rally on the Capitol Building lawn this Friday (May 28th) at 10:00am. CJI is asking our membership to show up in Springfield to help send a clear message to the Governor and legislators regarding the importance of the nuclear stations to our communities. We need to come together and help with this legislative effort.
We are excited to announce that the Open Enrollment for the Local 51 Voluntary Disability & Life Benefits are now open! Check out the new enrollment website at www.ibew51disability.org. Or you can call Cornerstone at 224-770-5305.
Local 51 members - your help is needed now! Please go to http://bit.ly/C2SMarch30 to show your support for the Illinois Coal to Solar and Energy Storage Act. This bill can help some of our at-risk power plants stay open longer as Vistra transitions to solar and energy storage. See pictures below for more information and for instructions.
