Cristina "Tina" Barillas-McEntee
President Candidate
Sisters and Brothers,
I, Tina, have dedicated my career to serving Plumbers Local 130. It is not just a responsibility to the hall but most importantly, to every one of you, the members of Plumbers Local 130. The foundation of our success lies in the collective strength, unwavering commitment, and unparalleled expertise of our membership, the very lifeblood that has elevated Local 130 to its revered status.
United, we are the architects of our destiny, and it is time to reclaim the core principles that have previously guided us. I call upon each of you to stand tall, voice your conviction, and embody the essence of what it truly means to be a member of this esteemed union. Together, we will forge a future that solidifies our legacy and inspires future generations. For no one person makes Local 130, the MEMBERSHIP makes Plumbers Local 130 GREAT!
My goals as President of Plumbers Local 130 are:
- Increase overall Transparency on all Local 130 business.
- Run every union meeting according to Roberts Rules of Order (motion, second, DISCUSSION, vote), UA constitution, and 130 bylaws.
- Open the floor at union meetings to afford all members the ability to state concerns, comments, and opinions without fear or favor.
- And to bring SOLIDARITY AND BROTHERHOOD back to our local, no member should fear retaliation, name-calling, coercion, and threats by officers just for having different views.

Together, we will ensure that Local 130 operates in alignment with the values enshrined in the UA Constitution and our own bylaws.
Education will be our cornerstone. Every member will understand how our union functions, empowering us to demand accountability and drive meaningful change. Let us forge ahead, united in purpose and resolve, to safeguard the principles of union democracy.
Forward, together. UNITED
