TO: Air Division Locals 501 – 592
RE: Air Division Director
Dear Brothers & Sisters:
While this year has been full of uncertainty and unprecedented turmoil, the TWU’s focus has to be on the organization and members as a whole. Therefore, effective January 4, 2021, Gary Peterson will take over as Air Division Director. This change will only further strengthen the TWU and the Air Division.
Between now and January, we will begin transitioning the Air Division obligations to Brother Peterson. Gary has a vast knowledge of what it takes, not only to be a Local President, but what it takes to ensure each Local has the International resources to establish Local autonomy, one of the things that is most cherished to the TWU.
During Gary’s time as an International Representative, he took on additional responsibility and worked many long hours negotiating and enforcing agreements to better the livelihoods of our members. He will do very well in his new role.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Fraternally,
Mike Mayes
International Administrative Vice President
