For us, it’s the perfect platform to communicate effectively with our members, potential recruits, and our employer partners. We want to be accessible, transparent, and responsive, and a dedicated Facebook page allows us to do just that. It’s a direct line to you, keeping you informed about everything from important union meetings and training opportunities to new contract negotiations and successful project completions.
Think about it: how else can we instantly share vital information like a change in meeting times, a call for volunteers for a community event, or an announcement about a new safety protocol? Sure, we have other communication channels, but Facebook’s reach and immediacy are unparalleled. It allows us to share not just text but also photos and videos, giving you a visual glimpse into the day-to-day operations and the proud achievements of our members. This visual storytelling is incredibly powerful. It helps showcase the skilled work our members perform, the challenging projects we undertake, and the positive impact we have on the Pittsburgh region. Furthermore, it serves as a crucial tool for organizing and mobilization. When we need to rally our members for a cause or inform them about upcoming actions, Facebook provides a quick and efficient way to get the word out. It’s also a fantastic place for building community. We can foster a sense of camaraderie among members, share success stories, and celebrate milestones together, even if we can’t all be in the same room. So, yeah, our IWPCI Pittsburgh Facebook page is more than just a social media profile; it's a dynamic hub for information, connection, and collective action.
