L.U. 129 (i,mt&spa), LORAIN, OH — Work is plentiful here in Lorain, and more is coming. We have a $2.2 billion expansion just starting at our Ford plant, a 125-megawatt solar field starting next year, a new roller coaster at Cedar Point and many other projects on the books. It looks like we will be very busy for the foreseeable future.
We recently had our brotherhood golf outing, which was a huge success. We also had a Local 129 skydiving event where some of our members, including the business manager, jumped out of a plane at 12,000 feet. Good times were had this summer at the kids’ fishing and picnic outing. The Brotherhood also participated in the local’s third annual motorcycle ride.
We would like to welcome our new officers and thank the outgoing members who have given their dedication and support the past three years. The new slate of officers includes a number of reelected or experienced members along with first-time officers, a mix that will bring a lot to the table.
At our July union meeting, the following officers were sworn in:
- President: Leonard Roark
- Vice president: Marius Pride
- Business manager/financial secretary: John Novak
- Recording secretary: Marc Schueszler
- Treasurer: Kurt Kauk
- Executive board: James Adams, Mark Burnette, Mark Day, Jay Hasenflue, Tom Nagy and Earl Wiegand Ill.
Paul Kress, P.S.
