POSTPONED.......
     The scheduled August 16, 2008 apprenticeship "Survival Day" has been postponed.  No new date has been scheduled at this time. 


Robert Kyle

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Kyle, an extremely well liked, highly respected member of Local 528.  Bob joined the OPCMIA on May 14, 1957, served as our trustee and was the President of our local from June 1972 through May 2000.  He was an instructor at the Cement Mason's JATC, teaching the majority of cement mason apprentices who have joined over the last three decades!  Brother Kyle was instrumental in the growth and success of Local 528.  He will truly be missed by all who knew him.  Anyone wishing to send cards of condolence can send them in care of Local 528 and we will forward them to his family.

 

  Welfare & Pension,

New website up and running. Please visit site, I received my personal pin number and have since logged onto the W.P.A.S. website it is very informative.  I think it could use a little tweaking but it is a great start.

                                                                                                                       

 Be proud of who you are, what you do, and the craft you ply.

 

In solidarity,    
JOHN KEARNS
