As I look back on the 35th Consolidated Convention, I’m filled with hope for the future. The Convention gave us an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and look at the challenges we have overcome. But even more, it gave us the opportunity to decide where we are going.
When I stood before our delegates, I spoke about a vision for this Brotherhood—a union united in purpose with expanding opportunities for every member. I see our union preparing the next generation of Boilermakers for the next generation of work. That vision did not end when the Convention adjourned.— Oct 1

A massive new energy campus proposed for Cleveland and Bradley County, Tennessee, could bring billions of dollars in investments and thousands of construction jobs to the area.
Project River is an $11.3 billion industrial energy campus that would include a natural gas plant and a biomass plant that would potentially provide power to a data center, robotics development, battery production or any energy-intensive industry.— Sep 16
As the 2026 Ohio Valley Tripartite Conference met Aug. 11-12 in Lexington, Kentucky, the area’s fast-growing need for amped up energy production prompted some familiar discussion: Data centers are expanding rapidly across America, and each one requires an incredible amount of power to run, which puts more strain on already thinly stretched grids. Many plans to retire reliable fossil power generation, such as coal, have halted, and there’s an increased demand for new power generation sources, including nuclear and gas, to be built or retrofit.— Sep 11
When thousands of workers marched together in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882, they sent a message that still resonates today: organized workers have power. This Labor Day, we’re celebrating that power by looking at recent Boilermaker organizing victories and the workers who stood together to win them.— Sep 7
