🎉🎆Celebrating 250 Years of Independence! 🎉🎆

250 years. Built by hands like ours. 🎆

This 4th of July isn't just fireworks and a day off. It is 250 years since a bunch of people said "enough" and built something better with their own two hands.

Every bridge, every building, every power line, every part, and every shift worked before sunrise.....that's the real story of America.

Not boardrooms but assembly lines, job sites and break rooms. That's Us!!

250 years of showing up. 250 years of doing the work nobody else will.

That's worth celebrating. 🎆🎇

Get with friends & family, fire up the grill, crack a cold one, and take a minute today to be proud of what your hands have helped build.

Happy 250th, America. We built this. 🎆🎇

#250Years #4thOfJuly #WorkingClassAmerica #UnionProud #80Years #Local1505 #ThankYou

Changes to Staff

- Billy Souza is now a steward on second shift.
- Brandon Sinnott is now a chief steward on second shift covering Sheet Metal, Machine Shop, Paint Shop, Facilities, Logistics, Incoming, Microwave and Missile.

Open Enrollment for our 2026 benefits has now ended, and we are currently in the correction period. If you need to make changes to your benefit elections, you have until December 12th to do so. Please note that you are only allowed to make corrections on Your Gateway one time. If you experience any issues with your elections or while making corrections, be sure to contact the RTX Benefits Center before December 12th for assistance.

For our yearly financial report, I am happy to share we are moving in the right direction. As you may recall, I reported last year that we ended our 2023-2024 fiscal year down roughly $29,000 from the year before. This was due largely to the decrease in membership caused by ongoing supply chain issues. I am pleased to report that those issues have since resolved, and our membership is growing at a steady pace. We closed the 2024-2025 fiscal year on June 30th, up approximately $3,200 from the previous year’s close. With membership continuing to rise, I anticipate that next year’s numbers will be even higher.

It's that time of year again, and our annual Christmas parties are right around the corner. The adult party is on Saturday December 6th, at the Tewksbury/Wilmington Elks. See your steward for tickets. The kids party is on Saturday December 13th, at the Tewksbury Knights of Columbus. The kids party is free for all members and their families. If you plan to attend, please let your steward know how many kids you will be bringing so we can plan accordingly.

I’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank all of the Veterans in Local 1505 for your service and sacrifice in support of our country. It’s because of people like you that we’re able to enjoy the freedoms we have today.

Our IBEW International Office is now offering a new challenge coin, shaped like a dog tag, to all IBEW members who are Veterans. If you are a Veteran, please click the green button below, (that says click here) complete the form, and you’ll receive your coin in the mail. If you need you IBEW ID number, please email me directly and I will send it to you.

Finally, I’d like to congratulate Ryan Frautten, who has been elected as the new Chair of the Local 1505 Veterans Committee. Thank you Ryan for your service and dedication, both to our country and to our union.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you get to relax, enjoy great food, and spend meaningful time with your family and friends. Take a moment to appreciate the people around you, make some great memories, and enjoy the holiday.

Presidents Report

Sisters and Brothers,

With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown, some of our members may feel the impact directly. Possible interruptions to the SNAP program, as well as furloughs or being required to work without pay, may have unfortunately become a reality for some.

  There is often a public debate around SNAP and other social support programs, but that is not the purpose of this message. Our focus is solely on the wellbeing of our members. If you rely on any program that may have been disrupted, or if you are experiencing food insecurity for any reason, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

  We will work with community partners, local organizations, and our legislative contacts to provide whatever support or guidance we can. All conversations will remain strictly confidential, and any information shared will be fully protected.

  I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated in the recent Breast Cancer Awareness Walk and the 11th Annual Dan Healy Memorial 5K. Your involvement demonstrates the strong community spirit that defines our Local.

  A special thank you to the members who came out and represented us at these events: Bob Atwood, Ryan Frautten, Jamie Fortin, Kial & Jake Giordani, Aaron Stevens and his daughter, Cesar Richardson and his son, Lindsay Carter, Dan Nickerson, Dan Halloon, and Dave Johnson.

These were two outstanding events, and we truly appreciate the hard work and commitment shown by all who participated. I encourage everyone to consider joining us next year.

In Solidarity,

Kevin Longtin

Benefits Report

RTX is staying with CVS Caremark. This decision was based on company continued evaluation of how the transition to CarelonRx would potentially impact member experience and financial outcomes. As part of that evaluation, they considered challenges encountered in implementing the transition to CarelonRx. CVS Caremark offers members the best combination of value, system readiness and continuity of care.

Members can make a change to 2026 medical plan election on or before Dec. 12, 2025, on Gateway. Note: you will only be able to make a correction on Your Gateway one time. If you are having trouble, please call the RTX Benefits Center at 800-243-8135 by Dec. 12, 2025.

We have experienced a number of problems related to members not electing or updating their beneficiaries. This creates an issue for the loved ones of members who pass away, in collecting their benefits. Please make sure to check your beneficiaries and update when needed.

If you have any questions or need any additional support, please reach out to me. (978) 470-6029

Safety Report

Sisters and Brothers,

As we move deeper into fall, the changing weather brings new safety challenges like shorter days, colder mornings, the flu season and slippery conditions. Taking the time to get prepared now can go a long way toward keeping safe through the winter months. Let’s stay alert, look out for one another, and make safety a daily habit as we head into the colder season.
