Over the last year-and-a-half, the memberships of Local 1928 (Nova Scotia, utility and outside line construction) and Local 1432 (PEI, utility and outside line construction) have voted to merge the two locals. For some time, this merger has been following the legal process required by the Labour Boards in both provinces to unite the two locals under the 1928 banner. The union office was notified in July that the "terminal date" for this merger was set for July 30, 2013. This may mean that the Locals are merged! But before we uncork the champagne, we are waiting for confirmation from the PEI Labour Board. Stay tuned for more updates.
