IBEW 1245 Staff Organizer Fred Ross Jr received the Sacramento Central Labor Council’s coveted organizing award at the Labor Council’s Annual “Salute to Labor” Awards Dinner. The award is named for Ross’ own father, Fred Ross Sr, who worked closely with Cesar Chavez and helped organize farm workers for many decades. IBEW 1245 Business Manager Tom Dalzell introduced Ross at the awards ceremony, where he was flanked by a strong contingent of Local 1245 organizing stewards wearing special buttons made just for the occasion.
