Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and thank you to Local 804 members everywhere. You've loaded and sorted the packages, delivered presents and essential (and non-essential) goods. You're fed the hungry through City Harvest. Now you are delivering the vaccine and putting a stake through the heart of this pandemic. In a million ways, you've been there for New York and for each other. One union, one goal!
Thank You and Congratulations Tom Lamontanaro
Congratulations to Tom Lamontanaro who is retiring as the Health & Welfare Fund Manager. Tom has worked hard for the members for decades and protected our fund and our benefits. We thank him for his service and wish him the best in his retirement. Long-time and experienced Fund employee, Marc Pantaleone, will serve as our new Fund manager, but Tom will never be replaced!
