2023

OPCMIA enthusiastically supports the nomination of Julie Su as the next Secretary of Labor and urges the Senate to swiftly confirm this longtime champion of workers’ rights. OPCMIA General President Kevin Sexton issued the following statement.

Today we are once again reminded of our place in the OPCMIA’s history. For nearly 160 proud years, our Union has smoothly and seamlessly transitioned from one General President to another — each doing their best to ensure that the next generation enjoys the wages, benefits and working conditions that our families fought so hard to achieve.

The incomparable legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deserves to be honored not only on this solemn and important day, but all 365 days of the year.

On behalf of the OPCMIA General Executive Board, I want to wish every member and their families a healthy, happy and fulfilling New Year. For me, this will be a New Year of transition, as I will retire on January 31st.
