Sal Maltese for Business Manager

A proven leader with 15+ years of labour relations experience. I'll bring accountability, transparency, and results to Local 353.

Background & Experience

Sal Maltese has spent over 15 years fighting for IBEW 353 members as your EPSCA North/East Representative. From contract negotiations to organizing new worksites, I've delivered real results for our union.

I've sat across the table from contractors, worked with members on the out-of-work list, and built coalitions that get things done for Local 353 and its members.

IBEW 353 deserves a Business Manager who actually does the work — not someone who just complains about problems.

  • 15+ years labour relations experience
  • EPSCA North/East Representative

  • Member-focused approach
