Meet Local 2’s new Business Agent, John Stewart. Elected in March, Stewart brings over 30 years of industry experience to this new position. Since beginning his trade career in 1993, he’s held every job title from apprentice to general foreman, on both commercial and industrial job sites. Working in the field up until the day he was elected, Stewart truly has his ear to the ground when it comes to the needs of our members.
“I want to be there for these guys. I want to find new work, maintain current work and overall, just be there for our members.” says Stewart.
His years of knowledge and experience are what he cites as his greatest strengths. He hopes that these attributes can help him in his mission to regain the market share in this region.
“My main goal is to bring work back to our union. I plan to use my 3 decades of connections to move work forward outside of our busy areas.” added Stewart.
Stewart is a 3rd generation Insulator who’s proud to carry on the Local 2 legacy of excellence and work ethic. He learned early in his career that our union is all about teamwork and a high standard of quality in the work that we do.
“The knowledge we gain creates a quality of work that is unmatched in the industry. I like people knowing that I work for a union known for getting the job done right.”
The entire Local 2 family is excited to see how John Stewart will help lead our union into the future.
