Shipbuilders Steering the Way
Published December 1, 2020


Etta Peele (X33) and Samantha Kehoe (X11) were honored with Level One On-the-Spot Ethics awards for speaking up when they noticed something wasn’t right.
Peele noticed an issue, which had the potential to cause injury or a fire, and pointed it out to electricians, who were able to correct the problem.
After assigning a craftsman a second job for the day, Kehoe realized the WICC process, which helps ensure quality, had been violated. She then initiated a deeper investigation and found another violation.
Xavier Beale, vice president of Trades, met with Peele and Kehoe to thank them for their actions and present their awards.
