In a heartwarming display of compassion, your union members sprang into action to answer an unusual call. Last week, a local hunter approached us with a distressing situation - his dog was stranded on a ledge. Without hesitation, your members volunteered to help. They swiftly accessed a nearby rock quarry, assessed the situation, and devised a rescue plan. With precision and care, they set up a high-angle system, descended, and successfully reunited the stranded dog with her overjoyed family.

We recognize the concern amongst our Members about HB675. We have an effective system in place. We’ve been working with House Members to make sure the bill doesn’t move forward.
