GP Williams is leading a powerful campaign to reinforce our union’s strength through education and engagement, upholding the IUPAT’s core values of “One Union, One Family, One Fight.” This initiative is designed to empower members by deepening their understanding of our shared mission and emphasizing commitment, mutual support, and solidarity to drive meaningful change.
Through this training, members gain valuable insights into their personal role in strengthening union power, working collaboratively toward common goals, and contributing to the overall success of our movement.

Recently, presentations were conducted in District Council 7 (Wisconsin) and District Council 57 (Pittsburgh), equipping members with the tools and knowledge needed to build a stronger, more united workforce. By fostering open communication and exploring our union’s history, members are better prepared to shape the future of our union.
As this campaign continues to gain momentum, you can get involved by attending the next District Council session, engaging with fellow members, and actively supporting IUPAT initiatives. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
