CHARLEY SOUDERS HIRED FOR PUBLIC SECTOR

Charley Souders, a distribution system operator at Merced Irrigation District, has been hired to be a Local 1245 business representative.

Souders, 31, has served the union in several capacities: as show steward, bargaining committee member, and recording secretary for Unit 1122. He also was part of the Local 1245 team that traveled to Florida this spring to help mobilize opposition to anti-union legislation.

“I look forward to the challenges of the position and look forward to working with members and stewards to better the working conditions,” Souders said.

His initial assignment area as business representative includes City of Roseville, City of Lodi, South San Joaquin Irrigation District, TriDam, Modesto Irrigation District, Turlock Irrigation District and Merced Irrigation District.

Welcome aboard, Charley!
