ESC Local 20 pledges our commitment to the Black Lives Matters movement. We stand with those in the labor movement who will fight for equality for our Black brothers and sisters. We stand against the use of qualified immunity and union contracts to shield police from the consequences of oppressive violence. Unions have an important role to play in the constant struggle for justice, and we will not allow them to be co-opted to uphold systemic racism.

The Executive Board of the Engineers and Scientist of California Local 20, IFPTE is proud to announce Francisco “Frankie” Preciado as the new Executive Director of ESC Local 20, and would like to express our deep appreciation to Karen Sawislak for her leadership and commitment to this union as the Executive Director for nearly 10 years.

Join us, union members, and central labor councils Saturday, June 13th to condemn systemic racism and affirm Black Lives Matter.

It is with a heavy heart that we express our deepest condolences to John Mader, President of Engineers and Scientists of California (ESC) Local 20, IFPTE, who unexpectedly lost his wife, Sandie, earlier this month.
Want to help? Please contribute here to funeral expenses and support of Sandie’s children.
