Congressman Mike Turner meets with IBEW Local 82
The Dayton Building Trades and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, (IBEW) Local 82 recently hosted a meeting with Congressman Mike Turner. Discussion included legislative issues that will affect future jobs in the Dayton area, specifically at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).
Congressman Turner shared his background with the audience – his father retired from General Motors in Dayton and his mother was a school teacher in Huber Heights. So he has an understanding of the strength of union workers. He views the members of the building trades as true professionals, noting that “as the most skilled workforce, they know more about safety and how to get things done.”
