Presidents Report:

For the last 50 years I have had the pleasure and privilege to be an IAM Member. The phrase “it pays to belong to a Union” and in my case it is very true. It has given me the opportunity to be a homeowner, send my children to college, a good health plan and a livable wage over the years. Now in retirement a chance to travel the world. I have held many positions in the union over the years and for the last 30 years as President of L. L. 2319, which has been a true honor.

I want to thank the Members and the Executive Board for last month’s plaque and kind words.

Until next month,
