Local 122 Members at Work
Updated
On: Feb 13, 2012 (17:16:00)
All too often, the Cambridge Health Alliance/CPHC Officers and Local 122 member's are confronted with violent individuals. Because of their training, hard work, professionalism and dedication to their job, they are able to keep themselves and others safe when challenged with a hostile situation. Here is an example of Officer Roderick's and Sergeant Collazo's good work.
"A Somerville man, who allegedly tried to steal medication from Cambridge Hospital, threatened to cut himself while holding a knife to his throat when police showed up. On Jan. 30 at 10:09 a.m., Cambridge Hospital Police officers responded to a panic alarm coming from the second floor of an outpatient pharmacy at Cambridge Hospital on Cambridge Street. The pharmacy manager pointed out [he was] standing against the wall with his right hand on his neck. An officer reportedly gave him two quick bursts of pepper spray and [he] immediately dropped the knife and covered his face with both hands. But he reportedly refused to get down on the ground when ordered to, until officers took him down and handcuffed him."

IBEW Verizon Workers Need Our Help
Posted
On: Aug 15, 2011 (16:20:44)
On Saturday August 6th, 45,000 workers at Verizon were forced to make a difficult choice: accept a contract with over 100 concessions or go on strike. If the workers accepted a contract at Verizon, it would have lowered standards for working people across the country and in Massachusetts. It's been over a week, and IBEW 2222's 6,000 members in Massachusetts are still on the streets.
Last month, Local 122 members at the Martignetti Companies had to make a similar choice. A vote was taken, and the members voted to strike if necessary. In our case, we were very lucky, in the final hours the Company came around and we did not have to take it to the streets, even though we knew it was likely. Please help these workers stand up for themselves because it could have been us!
Local 122 has adopted two stores to picket this week. Please come after work to support our brothers and sisters. Wednesday, 2pm-7pm Dedham, 688 Providence Highway, Dedham, MA 02026
Thursdays, 2pm-7pm Everett, 25 Mystic View Road, Gateway Centre, Everett, MA 02149
Thanks for your help. If you would like to help picket a Verizon store closer to home, please call me at the Union's office.

War on Workers
Updated
On: Feb 28, 2011 (20:36:00)
WAR ON WORKERS By: Stephen Gambale, Local 122 Member, BHA Bargaining Committee Member For weeks now, people around the country have witnessed the events that have unfolded in Wisconsin. We have watched and listened to both sides of the argument and have come to the realization that both sides make valid points. On one hand, taking action in the hopes of decreasing a ballooning debt is of paramount importance and sounds like the reasonable thing to do. Fiscal responsibility must be restored and spending must be curbed in an attempt to balance the budget woes of not only Wisconsin, but other states around the country. On the other hand, stripping the voice of hard working middle class Americans doesn’t seem to fit the task at hand. To remove the means of good faith communications between companies and government agencies does not seem in sync with budgetary concern. The reality here seems more of an ideology amongst big business and its counterparts to de-unionize the country. There is no argument that big and small business is one of the largest factors in the stabilization of this country’s unemployment and creation of jobs. This simple fact still remains; employees are the front lines of any entity conducting business. It could mean processing paperwork to meet a deadline. It could be creating profits for the expansion of a company. It could be delivering goods in a timely fashion. It could be providing customer satisfaction to consumers. It could be maintaining the grounds in which a business operates. All these factors and many more play a vital role in the success of any company, business, entity or agency. So why is the Governor of Wisconsin waging a war with “Bob”? A hard working middle class man dedicated to providing for his family and working towards a better life for his children? Why strip him of an attempt in good faith to better his working conditions and terms of employment? “Bob” has agreed to increase his contribution to his pension and pay more for his health insurance at a time when his money is tighter than ever. For some reason, this is not enough. A lesson must be taught and “Bob” and his family must be made an example. “Bob” can no longer have his voice heard through the representation of his union. It is clear that the Governor of Wisconsin is looking to further increase the gap between the rich and the poor, leaving those stuck in the middle to endure more suffering. This is about ideology. Not a 3.6 billion dollar deficit.

On Thursday, July 8, 2010 during the heat emergency, Resident Custodian Troy Whigham at the Boston Housing Authority, was door knocking to see how the residents were doing. Troy noticed that he did not see one resident leave the building. Troy kept knocking on his door with no response Read More...
