PRESIDENT'S REPORT
BY: MICHAEL JETER
November, 2024
Hello brothers and sisters of Local 722,
We Can, We Will, and We Must Be Thankful
As the year draws to a close, let us reflect and give thanks to GOD for bringing us this far. It is because of His Mercy, Grace, and Favor that we are still here today.
This year, we’ve experienced significant moments:
-
- Several of our members have passed.
-
- Several of our members have retired.
-
- Several of our members have lost their jobs.
Yet, for those of us still serving in this capacity, God has found it fitting to keep us here. Let us take a moment out of our busy schedules to say, "THANK YOU, LORD, FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE!"
The Holiday Season
The holiday season is upon us—a special time to cherish family and friends.
-
- Thanksgiving: Many of us consider this our favorite holiday. It’s a time to break bread, fellowship, reminisce, and express gratitude.
-
- Christmas: Whether you enjoy the decorations, delicious meals, gift-giving, or simply sharing traditions, let’s be thankful for the opportunity to celebrate.
This season is a perfect time to reflect and strengthen bonds with loved ones.

Dear Leaders,
We urge you to engage your staff, officers, and members in the Maryland State and DC AFL-CIO Labor to Labor 2024 Get Out the Vote initiative. Your local’s full participation will be crucial in maintaining and potentially flipping the U.S. Senate and House in favor of our unions and workers.
Action Items:
- Promote the Labor to Labor Walks and Phone Banks:
Share this link in your social media alerts, newsletters, websites, and emails: Labor to Labor Walks and Phone Banks - Plan to Sponsor a Walk or Phone Bank:
Contact the State Federation via phone or email to arrange a walk launch from your work site. We’ll provide all the necessary materials; you provide the volunteers.
Maryland's role as a deciding factor in passing pro-worker, pro-union legislation has never been more critical. Our leadership is being tested, and our collective energy will be key to a victory on November 5 for our country, democracy, and unions.
