My Experience:
42 year UAW member
8 term Local 1097 President
Twice elected to the UAW-GM National Negotiations Committee
Current negotiator and grievance handler for our Amalgamated units in IPS, bus assembly, sanitation, and medical
President of the Rochester Area Labor Federation AFL-CIO
REGION 9 DESERVES A FIGHTER.
My plant was spun off from GM in 1999. I stood up against concessions, even when it put a target on my back. We still have work left to do on tiers. In many of our contracts, wages still don't keep up with the cost of living. Members deserve a leader with the integrity to stand up to corporate greed and clean up any remnants of corruption in our Region.
WE CAN’T GO BACK TO THE BAD OLD DAYS.
I fought for One Member, One Vote because members deserve to choose our leaders and hold them accountable. I'm running to ensure Region 9 serves our locals and our membership, not the other way around.
