Thanks for all your votes and congratulations to all the newly elected board members. I hope that Arlene, Tom, and Richard continue their involvement with our local. I hope that those members that did not bother to run or vote do not bother to complain.

Thanks to those who voted. At this time I did not win a third term to the Union Executive Board. It has been enlightening and a valuable experience to serve with the Boards I have worked on, and to serve for my co-workers. I remain a staunch Union Advocate, and am willing to be called upon as necessary.
People ask, “what will you do now in private life?” I reply with a smile, “remain a loyal supporter of Union efforts, fair pay, and fair treatment; enjoy my time with my family, and perhaps visit Disney World.”
Perhaps in a few more years, I will attempt a return to the Board, but until then, I have direct and first hand knowledge of how hard a handful of people work to keep this Union running. Now, more than ever, we have to stand in solidarity behind our board and our Union.
