L.U. 611 (catv,es,govt,i,lctt,o,spa,t&u), ALBUQUERQUE, NM — In May, our local lost our official historian, Tracy Hall. Tracy retired more than 20 years ago but was a constant figure at all of our union meetings and local functions. Tracy was president of the Local 611 Retirees’ Club and would attend the apprenticeship banquets each year to hand out the C.S. Mitchell Award to the first-year outstanding apprentice. Tracy’s presence will certainly be missed.
B&D Industries is working on a $19 million remodel of the Albuquerque International Sunport airport, scheduled to be completed in 2025. B&D has two shifts with about 35 workers.
There are still lots of calls coming in daily for Facebook and surrounding areas.
On behalf of the local, I send condolences to the friends and families of Shelton Bitsui, Ray Garcia, Taylor Gulley, Tracy D. Hall, David Knittig, Gilbert Lujan, James Meadows, Mariano Ortiz, Bruce Senior and Fred R. Webb.
Don’t forget, this is an election year. Make every effort to get out and vote, and be sure to attend your local union meetings.
Darrell J. Blair, P.S.
