Business & Labor Can Work Together
I met with and spoke to the Business Managers for the Trades on Thursday, Oct. 13. John M. Holliday (left) is Business Manager for the International Union of Operating Engineers (Local 917) and Gary Watkins (right) is Business Manager at International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW, Local 175).
There is no reason why business and labor cannot work together. Both share the same goals ~ to make money, to support our community, and to maintain professional services or products. Business managers I spoke to at a luncheon Thursday agree. They want to provide high-quality work and expect a level playing field. It does not sound like too much to ask for.
Also attending were as follows:
Dewayne Chastain
(Business Representative for the Sheet Metal Workers, Local 5)
Tim A. Brown
(Marketing Representative with the Tennessee Carpenters Regional Council)
Toby Smith
(Assistant Business Manager with the IBEW)
Harry Deboard
(Marketing Representative with the IUOE)
