Spring has officially arrived—and with it, a sense of renewal and momentum for TWU Local 556.
In nature, Spring is a season of growth and energy returning after a long winter. For our Union, this season mirrors the moment. We’ve welcomed a new President, a new 1st Vice President, and a new Treasurer. They each bring a blend of fresh perspectives, experience from seasons past, and a commitment to serving our Members. Change like this allows us to refocus and move forward with a renewed sense of optimism and purpose.
