Are Puerto Ricans Americans? Yes, anyone born in Puerto Rico is automatically a U.S. citizen. People born in Puerto Rico are considered “natural- born” American citizens, which qualifies them to run for president, but only after living in the U.S. proper for at least 14 years. They’re also eligible to serve in the U.S. military, and quite a few of them have risen to high ranks within it. NOVEMBER 2017

UPDATE FROM PUERTO RICO AFTER HURRICANE MARIA — OCTOBER 20, 2017
ne month after the most devastating hurricane Puerto Rico has O seen in over 85 years, it’s citizens still have to struggle to get even the most basic resources like food and water. On the island, 81 percent is still in the dark and 75 percent of com- munication antennas are still down. More than 1 million citizens still don’t have running water. The dangers of a humanitarian crisis are closer than ever. Recovery Organizations Hurricane Victims Help Another devastating impact of Hurricane Maria is on the unemploy- NOVEMBER ment rate. It has been estimated by the Puerto Rico Department of Labor that the unemployment rate will increase by more than 110,000. The recovery process has been extremely slow and painful, but Puerto Rico will rise again from the ashes to be an even more beautiful tropi- 2017 cal paradise than ever before.

Their skilled tradespeople have erected some of the most prominent and well-known buildings in the city, including CN Tower, Rogers Centre (Sky- dome), BMO Field and City Hall—just a few of the most recognizable projects synonymous with the province’s capital city. But it is the increase in the number of financial sector towers and luxury hotels committed to providing the highest in quality, safety and reliability, which is ingrained in their training.

Local 765 was granted a charter from the Inter- national Association of Bridge Structural and Reinforcing Ironworkers in May 1955, starting with 27 charter members who transferred from Local 721. Due to strong leadership of the business man- agers, presidents and business agents who have led the local, Local 765 currently sits at 678 active and proud members. After renting office space until 1982, Local 765 purchased their first union hall and stayed there until the summer of 2011 when they acquired their first training center to benefit the membership. The training center currently has 12 welding booths, a broderson, telescopic forklift and an elevated work platform to further the education of its members. Another milestone was reached in 2012 when they were granted certification by the Canadian Welding Bureau as a certified testing facility. In 2014, the prestigious Eagle Award from the IW was awarded for Local 765’s continuing efforts
to supply the membership and contractors with the best trained ironworkers. The local hosted their first apprenticeship competition with success and continues to do so, as well as hosting the Ontario Provincial Competition in 2015. 2018 is looking to be a big year again as Local 765 will be adding to the training center with an expan- NOVEMBER sion and will be better able to serve the membership with an in-house apprenticeship training school.
