It was twenty years ago today (June 20) that ETEA started as a union. Since then we have grown to be around 350 members strong, and growing.

On this, our twentieth birthday, past president and honorary retired member, Michael Wicks, has asked the following message be passed on. I think his message captures the spirit that is ETEA, and as president I would like to thank him and all that came before for helping grow our little union.

Members of ETEA

On this June 20th, 2015 day of our 20th Anniversary, I am sending my personal congratulations to every past and present member of ETEA.
We have beaten the odds of a small union lasting 20 years, due to everyone’s commitment to our vision of a profession, to our ability to working together, and our expectation to consider all opinions before acting.
I salute the new generation of dedicated people who are moving the ETEA forward.

Remember, we are not the cost of production — WE ARE THE PRODUCERS OF WEALTH — and we deserve our share, respect, and our voice!

Michael Wicks
