Yesterday, President Dave McCune called his last Board Meeting to order. He has retired after 37 plus years of service to the City and 11 years of service as an officer to this union. Although I knew Dave as a light-hearted, fun loving guy before I became an officer in this union. After becoming an officer, I learned the Dave was a fighter for our union, for our contract, for our members and their families, and for working people in general. He will be missed by those that worked with him and knew him. Dave McCune, Congratulations on your retirement. There is one more time to say good bye to Dave tonight starting at 5:00 p.m. at Millers Ale House on Olentangy River Road. Please drop in and see him.

Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone!

Union Members ready to retire please mark your calendars for a union sponsored pre retirement event!
