Brothers,

In today’s global society, people continue to look for the best buy but not necessarily the best quality.  In the Elevator Industry our signatory companies are willing to sell their services at a discounted rate and reduce manpower to promote higher profits.  The ultimate result is that the customer is getting a service contract that is not being met or new installations that are not being finished.  Brothers, as Elevator Constructors, we do not bid these jobs, nor do we assign the manpower, but we do perform the work.  The work should be done with the highest degree of craftsmanship and pride.  In 2007, when our Labor Committee sets down and negotiates our new contract, we shall demand the best because we are the best.
