Sisters in the Brotherhood
The mission of the NCSRCC SIB's Committee is to build a stronger union at all levels by working to:
- Create a network of active members in our trades
- Address the unique concerns of members
- Increase the number and diversity of members in the Union
- Promote the advancement of tradespeople
Joining the SIB committee is an opportunity for members to learn more about their union, receive encouragement, and find ways to participate at the local and regional council levels. SIB committee meetings provide an opportunity for members to network with other individuals in the trades, and provide and receive support.
