Members of our locals celebrate the holidays in many ways. On Friday, December 5th, members of the City Union of Baltimore gathered for their annual holiday party and program at the IBEW Local 24 Union Hall in Baltimore.

Many thanks to our members who came out to help with the Metropolitan Baltimore Council AFL-CIO Holiday Baskets program for Union members who are suffering financial hardship. On Tues., Dec. 16, 2014, BCFPE and City Union of Baltimore members helped to organize and stuff baskets for families.

The race for Maryland’s next Governor is down to its last few days, and we’re asking for one more push to help us Get Out the Vote. Come out this weekend to help us!
