    • Welcome
      As you all know, Microsoft will be coming to LaPorte very soon. The city is also trying to annex more property by the site for more Microsoft expansion. This will create hundreds, if not a few thousand, IBEW jobs for years to come. The city has asked us to come to the Monday night City Council meeting, 13th, to support this initiative. I would ask anyone living in LaPorte city limits, to please come to city hall on Monday afternoon, 5pm, to support this. You will not have to speak but we want a large "labor" presence showing support for the city council members to see. We may have some T shirts to give you but please wear Orange in case we run out of shirts. Please text me and let me know if you will be there so I can have an idea of a headcount. 219-405-5790

      The JATC will host a First Aid/CPR class on Wednesday, April 15th at 5 PM. Call 219-879-1090 to sign up.

      As I have reported, we have now implemented a financial advice component onto the Money Purchase Plan.  Now, members can get real time advice from an Empower financial advisor in order to make better decisions on where you invest your Money Purchase money.  Empower will be hosting individual in-person meetings on March 10th and 11th here at the IBEW 531 hall.  There will also be opportunities later to do these sessions via teleconference or phone call.  The below link will allow you to reserve your spot on March 10th or 11th.  This service will be FREE.  Members can also pay a small fee to Empower if they want Empower to manage the account for them.  The individual in-person meetings are something that we will host dependent on the amount of interest we have.  We are hoping to host a couple days every quarter but will adjust depending on how much interest there is.  As always, call the hall if you have any questions regarding this.  https://wyatt-boss.empowermytime.com/#/

      In Solidarity, 

      Jim Clarida, Business Manager IBEW 531
