Joe Walsh (IBEW Local 99) / Dan Flippo (USW District 9)

IBEW Local 99 Business Manager Joe Walsh was featured on today’s edition of the America’s Work Force Union Podcast. Walsh discussed IBEW members in Rhode Island and where they work, 2021 goals and the union difference, apprenticeship programs and how the Biden administration will benefit unions.

United Steelworkers District 9 Director Dan Flippo was the second guest on the show today. Flippo spoke to host Ed “Flash” Ferenc about how the locals in their district “zig-zagged” their way through the pandemic, negotiating contracts, increased union representation in so-called “right to work” states, and having union members on President-elect Biden’s transition team.
