Q: How would your life be different if you were not a union member?

Q: If you could make a change in the workplace, what would it be?
A: “I would hope that everyone would share in the golden rule, do to unto others as you would want to be done to you.”
Q: What in your life are you most proud of?
A: “My family and my grandchildren, god has blessed me with a rich life of good friends at my workplace, senior group, Karaoke group and others yet to come.”
