Robert Camarillo of Portland-based Iron Workers Local 29 has been hired as an organizer by the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. His first day was Jan. 4.
In accepting the new job, Camarillo had to step down as president and business agent of Local 29, and as president of the Columbia Pacific Building Trades Council.
“I resigned from everything so that I could focus full time on this job,” said Camarillo, who will travel throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska to assist locals with organizing campaigns.
The Columbia Pacific Building Trades Council appointed Bob Carroll, a business rep for IBEW Local 48, as president.
At Iron Workers Local 29, vice president Shane Nehls was appointed president, and will succeed Camarillo as business agent.
Happy Trails, Rob! We’ll miss you out in front of our office. See you at the NLRB hearing in February.
