Pete Ielmini (Mechanical Insulators LMCT) / John Murphy (International Brotherhood of Teamsters)

Our first featured guest on today’s show was Mechanical Insulators LMCT Executive Director Pete Ielmini. He spoke about the winterization process for pipes and how Texas was not at all prepared, the difference between winterization and energy conservation and higher return on investment from good insulation.

Also featured on the AWF Union Podcast today was International Brotherhood of Teamsters Vice President At Large John Murphy. He spoke about pension relief language in the newest COVID-19 relief bill, why pension protection plans are so desperately needed and how the American Rescue Plan was passed.
