A message from your Business Manager Bruce Getts:

With a lot of wonderful members retiring recently, we would like to thank everyone for their service and wish them happy retirement! We would also like to give an honorable mention to one retiree in particular, and he is Mark Miller.  Mark has been an invaluable member who has served our union since 1973.  Mark became a union steward in 1981, and was on our local's negotiation team during contract talks with GTE and Verizon in 1991, 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2006.  He also represented our local as a delegate at the 35th, 36th, and 37th IBEW International Conventions.  Mark has been our Unit 1 Executive Board member since 1990 and became the Executive Board Chairperson in 1993.  Even though he is sometimes quiet and shy, he still manages to touch the lives of everyone he meets and will be greatly missed.  Thank you Mark!
