District 5 Report — August 2025

Greetings Sisters and Brothers, 

I want to take this time to thank our new District 5 Unit officers. Recording Secretary Journeyman Wireman Richard Macon, Vice Chairman Journeyman Wireman Cy Marshall, and Chairman Journeyman Wireman Stephen Joyner were re-elected new terms. Thank you all for stepping up and giving your free time and being active and engaged members.

The cities of Lancaster and Palmdale held city council meetings to vote on a CWA (Community Workforce Agreement), which passed unanimously. A big part of why these CWAs passed is because these local politicians know that we are skilled and trained, and they understand what we bring to the table.

Work is steady in the Antelope Valley. We should be seeing job calls in the following few months at AV College for Christian Belle Electric and for CSI Electric at A.V. Fairgrounds. Both projects have steel going up and are almost ready for electrical.
