John Bowman is retiring after 20 years of service to our Union. His last day on the job will be April 30. We  will miss his home-spun phrases and his impressive bargaining skills. John says he plans to sit in a rocking chair on his front porch and wait for the Postman to bring his Social Security check… (We suspect he will also spend some time with his grandkids.) There will will be a party for John in the Midwest office after work on Friday, May 9th. More details will be forthcoming as plans are finalized.
We are also pleased to announce the arrival of our new Regional Organizer, Laura Hebert.  Laura started work on March 31, and will begin taking over Midwest region assignments over the next month. We are very happy and fortunate to have Laura with us. She has more than 20 years of experience working in the labor movement, bargaining, organizing and handling grievances and arbitrations. Laura worked previously as a staff member with 1199, SEIU, and the Physicians Union. John and Tim will be taking Laura around to meet the unit leadership. Laura’s extension on the Midwest office phone system is 103.

Union members who have worked with Financial Secretary/Treasurer Tim Yeager, or have attended one of his labor education classes, will know that he is fond of saying that Moses was the first union organizer, and that the first strike in recorded history was when the Hebrew construction workers walked off the job in Egypt. His speaking style sounds a bit like a preacher.
