November Member Spotlight – Jeremy Gonzales
For the past 11 years, Jeremy Gonzales, a member of Local 2232 has dedicated himself to a career as a union millwright. Being a millwright comes with a lot of challenges, in which a lot of people do not talk about until they have walked in the shoes of a millwright. No job is ever the same and each day presents a slate of new challenges. Being a millwright is not for the faint of heart. But with a whole lot of faith and a lot of hard work, it is a rewarding career.
Help us celebrate National Apprenticeship Week by sharing your story
National Apprenticeship Week is Nov. 14 – 20 and we want to celebrate by telling your stories. If you would like to participate, click here to fill out the questionnaire. Answers may be highlighted and shared across SSMRC social media platforms.
