Orlando/Fort Lauderdale E-Connection

I want to start by thanking all of you for placing your collective trust in me. I believe there is a lot of work to be done this term, and I have several initiatives I want to get off the ground as quickly as possible.

I’d like to start with Member involvement. This will serve as an all-call for anyone wanting to be involved with Union work. I want to operate three separate teams, with people overlapping those teams depending on their interests in being involved.

Chicago E-Connection

Thank you for putting your confidence in me as your elected Chicago Domicile Executive Board Member. I am humbled and honored to have the privilege of representing you on the 2024-2027 TWU Local 556 Executive Board.

Phoenix E-Connection

First, as I embark on my sixth consecutive term as your Domicile Executive Board Member, I want to thank you again for putting your trust in me to represent you. I also want to thank Mitch and Lynn for stepping up to do Union work, as very few people want to do it.
