BREAKING NEWS!!!  ANOTHER ORGANIZING VICTORY FOR LOCAL 1260!

Business Manager/Financial Secretary Brian Ahakuelo is proud to announce another organizing victory for IBEW Local 1260 by coming to terms with Advance Management Incorporated in Harmon, Guam.   AMI is an important facilities management contractor with operations at the U.S. Naval Base Guam.

The announcement culminates a 6-month organizing effort, with AMI’s 30 employees now set to join the 3,300 members of our Local Union, of which, some 950-plus call Guam home.

According to Assistant Business Manager/Director of Organizing Tommy Decano, it was an effort that involved a lot of research and hard work.

“At first, it was tough to get the Company on board,” said Decano, “because management thought our Union had left (the Territory).  In the years before Brian (current Business Manager) took over, our Local Union had almost no presence in Guam’s civic community, so management thought the Union was gone.  Not only were we able to show AMI that we are STILL on Guam, but also that we are making big strides to advance our Local Union and our members.”

Organizer Ken Laguana added, “Guam is a tight knit community and our members are out there talking about the positive changes they’ve seen from our Local Union over the past few months.  People hear about those improvements and want to be a part of it.”

Membership Development has always a key initiative for Business Manager Ahakuelo.

“I am happy and proud to see our strategic organizing efforts pay such dividends,” said Ahakuelo, “as we continue to re-invent the Labor Movement.”
