UWUA’s 31st Constitutional Convention
Utility Workers Union of America - 31st Constitutional Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada
UWUA’s 31st Constitutional Convention
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 31st Constitutional Convention in Las Vegas! We had an opportunity to reflect on our convention theme – Our Mission: Protecting Our Legacy, Building Our Future! and consider how it will guide our work moving forward. We celebrated our successes and we mapped out a course for the next four years and beyond.
As you likely know by now Mike Langford and Steve VanSlooten retired at this year’s convention. Together, they have left an indelible impact on the UWUA. They’ve taken the Union into the 21st century, secured benefits that have uplifted our members and worked to bring diverse new voices and perspectives into the organization. We thank them for their remarkable leadership, dedication and solidarity. For more on their impact on UWUA, check out this tribute video honoring their legacy.
On July 27, 2019 Jim Slevin was sworn is at National President and Pat Dillon was sworn in as National Executive Vice President along with officers National Vice President John Duffy and National Secretary-Treasurer Mike Coleman and the rest of the executive board.
