Ratification Meetings

Ratification meeting schedule:

The following is the complete ratification meeting schedule:

Wed July 20th- food @ 5:00pm and meeting @ 5:30pm

Sun July 24th @ 10:00am

Wed July 27th @ 9:00am & 5:30pm

Thurs July 28th @ 6:00pm

All meetings will be held in the Union office.

We are aware of virtual voting options being offered in other locals.

However after careful consideration we believe it is best for our members to conduct in person meetings to fully explain the contract extension, and answer members questions so they can make an informed decision prior to casting a vote for, or against ratification.

If the need arises additional meetings, or voting times maybe added.

Look forward to seeing you all at one of the meetings.

Obituary

COUTU, MICHAEL R., 48, of Hope, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 11, 2022. Born in South Kingstown, he was a son of Dean E. Coutu and the late MaryAnn (Coyle) Coutu.

Michael worked for Verizon since 2005 in the fiber solution center. He was a friend to all, joking around and filling the room with his infectious laughter. Once you were his friend, you were his friend for life. He was very giving, helpful, and always had a smile for everyone. He liked working outdoors, making the yard look great; while inside XBox was a way to unwind. He was an avid fan of movies, the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics.

Michael was the loving father of Caitlynn Dixon and John M. Coutu. Brother of Bonnie Laauwe, Jennifer Lancaster, and the late Lisa Richmond.

Visitation will be held Thursday, February 17, 2022 from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM in the Iannotti Funeral Home, 415 Washington St. (RTE 117), Coventry. Burial is respectfully private.

Obituary

Jason was full of light, he was the life of the party. His sarcastic, witty sense of humor always made anyone around him laugh. He was a man of his word, if he said he was going to do something he did it, always staying in touch with everyone he cared about near and far.
Jason was employed by Verizon since 1997 and worked as a splicer out of the New England way garage. He was a proud member of IBEW local 2323 and loyal member of the 2323 riding club, he had a passion for riding. It was with the RC where he became a beloved friend while supporting many labor and community organizations in their times of need.
When Jason wasn’t working, he loved spending time with his family in his free time; watching movies, going to dinner and traveling to new places together is what made him happy. He was a great husband and father.
In Jason’s youth, he enjoyed participating in freestyle rap battles; he could even bust a move and break dance on the dance floor. He was a big fan of the group called “Run DMC” and would always rap their songs anywhere anytime always leaving smiles on everyone’s face with his gestures.
Jason’s genuine dedication in helping others is the reason why he became an organ donor and because of that he is able to save so many more lives. We are so proud of everything he has accomplished in life, he was loved and will be missed by everyone.
A visitation will be held Thursday, December 30, 2021 from 2-4pm in the Thomas & Walter Quinn Funeral Chapel, 2435 Warwick Avenue, Warwick, RI 02889. Burial will be private.

THERE WILL BE A GATHERING IN JASON’S MEMORY AT THE UNION HALL (22 AMFLEX DR. CRANSTON, RI 02921) THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30TH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WAKE. ALL MEMBERS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE WELCOME.
