The administration has formally rescinded the CE/CW classification program within our jurisdiction. This outcome confirms that our commitment to maintaining a single professional standard remains the strength of our local. We must remain vigilant to ensure that our collective bargaining principles continue to guide all future organizational decisions.

This is B.S. I served my apprenticeship and put in my time. Why are we letting them bring in these other tiers now?
No multi tier garbage. Stick to the agreement and stop undercutting our own brothers.
Ridiculous. We need to look out for the brotherhood not some cheap labor compromise.
Keep the standard high. We worked way too hard to build this union just to have them dilute it now.
Stop the race to the bottom! Local 134 is the best for a reason.

Totally agree. Chicago needs to stay union strong. No CE/CW in 134.
