Local 133 Member says "Thank you for the Opportunity"

We recently received a response from a new member of local 133. This new member is absolutely thrilled and honoured to become a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. He is a red seal qualified welder who will do us proud. We must continue to strip our competition of these qualified people, build our membership and continue to strengthen our market share. We are up to 90 members now in local 133, all red seal qualified boilermakers, welders or metal fabricators. This definitely hurts our competition. Please read his comments below.

This morning I received exciting mail; my long-term goal to work for the IBB had finally been realized - Thank You. I will wear the crest with pride.

You must know there are many experienced and skilled tradesmen who wish nothing more but to work under, and strengthen, the IBB, but for innumerable (and often nonsensical) reasons hit a dead end and fail in their efforts, and so end up under a different banner.

Again, thank you for allowing me into this storied organization. I look forward to representing it with pride and good work.
