Reno Sparks Retirees Club Donates Fans to Needy Seniors

July 12, 2021

In what has become an annual tradition, the IBEW 1245 Reno-Sparks Retirees Club collected and donated 39 fans for needy senior citizens in Washoe County. Club President Ron Borst started the fan drive back in 2015 after hearing a radio ad about low income seniors suffering during the hot summer months (temps often exceed 100… [Read More]

Retiree Perspective: The Fragility of Liberty Requires Continual Cultivation

June 4, 2021

 Liberty is a fundamental principle of life. It is uniquely individual, but must include all.  It is nonpartisan and accepts all beliefs. Because it is so embedded into the fabric of our lives, it is easy to take for granted. To perpetuate liberty, it must be nurtured and we can never lose sight of its… [Read More]

The Winnemucca Battle Mountain IBEW 1245 Retirees Club presented a check for $300 to Humboldt Volunteer Hospice, a local organization involved in end-of-life care in the Winnemucca community. “Local 1245 was instrumental in financially supporting this community donation,” said Michael Dean of the Retirees Club. “Many thanks go out to all those who support this… [Read More]

Retiree Perspective: The Link Between Personal Freedom and Workers’ Rights

March 12, 2021

Personal freedom is the underpinning of many the core values of our lives.  But freedom does not exist in a vacuum or in isolation.  Freedom is an offshoot of Democracy and it must be available to all.  Without the freedom to determine their own destiny, workers would find it difficult to have a voice in… [Read More]

“The Power of IBEW 1245 is Enhanced by the Participation of its Retirees” — Local 1245 retiree activists speak out on the value of staying active in the union during retirement

February 22, 2021

I have stayed a member of the retirees club because I truly enjoy the camaraderie of my union brothers and sisters who I worked alongside of for so many years.  I know that they share the same values of hard work, dedication, and safety that we proudly displayed in the workforce and in our current… [Read More]

Retiree Perspective: “Just Like a Dependable Friend”

February 19, 2021

Having grown up in a middle-class union household, in a middle-class union neighborhood, I just thought everyone that was employed, was a union member. Back in the fifties, sixties and early seventies, that was, for the most part, true. My parents raised their three children on one union income. We lived in a modest home… [Read More]

New Process to Retire at PG&E

February 7, 2021

On January 1, PG&E announced that it was moving its pension administration over to a new website called PensionConnect. This does not change PG&E’s commitment to the pension plan, nor anything about your pension benefit, but it does change the process that our members at PG&E will need to complete when they’re ready to retire…. [Read More]

Retirees Corner: Protecting Seniors’ Security

January 5, 2021

The last three months has been a blur, and yet, 2020 seems to have been the longest year I have ever experienced.  As 2020 fades away, I am optimistically looking forward to a more positive 2021. As a senior, it is important to stay abreast of events that can affect your health and financial security…. [Read More]

PG&E Processing Error on October Pension Payments

October 29, 2020

We have recently been alerted to the fact that PG&E made a processing error in its October pension payments, and retiree health and welfare premiums were not deducted from the payment. The company has informed us that it will be correcting the issue next month, and pensioners should expect to have two retiree health and… [Read More]

Retirees Corner: Protecting Our “Happy Days” Through Union Activism

September 21, 2020

A secure retirement is like “Happy Days,” but pensions have not always existed for working people, nor were they provided by the good graces of the employer. The catalyst was the strength of union members joining together and speaking with one voice. It was the constant work of IBEW 1245 engaged with employers on our… [Read More]
