📣 Election Day (11/4) ✅
On Tuesday, November 4, the members of Local 831 turned out strong and made their voices heard.
Now — the work begins: our next mission is pension reform.
🔹 We showed up because our collection, our future, matters.
🔹 We’re mobilized today because action is required.
🔹 We’ll push hard for retirement security, accountability, and real change.
This wasn’t the finale — it’s the kick-off.
Let’s stay united, stay focused, and move forward.
Local 831 — stronger together, and aiming higher.
