PRESIDENT’S REPORT
BY: MICHAEL JETER
Hello brothers and sisters of Local 722,
We Can. We Will. We Must Change the Way You See Yourself!
We can, we will, and we must change the way you see yourself! Start looking at yourself in a positive way—even when situations seem negative. Surround yourself with people who encourage you to prosper and grow. Always connect yourself to a “fully charged battery”—people who uplift and energize you. Avoid associating with those who have no charge, as they will not help you move forward.

COVID-19 cases are rising. The vaccine is available, but it is not mandatory at this time. However, vaccination is strongly recommended for your protection.
Project 2025
I would like to share information about Donald Trump’s Project 2025. This initiative contains some of the most negative policies that affect Union Members and Americans. I urge you to learn more and share this information with everyone you know.
