Brothers and Sisters:
As this issue of the Elevator Constructor reaches your mailbox, the world will be ringing in the New Year 2024. The Local has a lot to be proud of moving into 2024. Membership stands at 213 constructors, our highest number since before 2008. With the transients that number increases to 233 dues paying members.
As you will see below, work is good in Cleveland. Schindler has the largest project in town and the most members at 88 while the other signatories are growing their numbers. In the spring there will be 45 apprentices in the NEIEP program and five eligible for their Mechanics Exam.
This is a good time to be in Cleveland.
