The Metal Trades website will be spotlighting local councils on a periodic basis.

Amarillo Atomic Trades Council, Amarillo, TX

Clarence Rashada, President

Clarence Rashada took over as head of the Amarillo Atomic Trades Council in April 2006, immediately confronting jurisdictional issues involving job descriptions. With assistance from Metal Trades General Representative Tom Shaeffer, the council has addressed those problems, he said.
Pantex is a contractor-operated DOE facility charged with decommissioning surplus atomic weapons and materials.
Amarillo represents 1,100 employees at the Pantex Plant—with approximately 75 percent of the unit signed on as members. As the Council prepares for negotiations in 2008, Rashada said it will mount a sustained organizing campaign to sign up non-members.
