The Glennon Family
Brothers,
I would like to thank all of the Local 56 members who purchased
the red Union shirts over the past few weeks. Not only were the shirts were sold to promote solidarity amongst our members,
they also enabled us to help a fellow Brother who was in distress for the holidays. Brother Gerry Glennon (Comm Signalman),
has two young children at home who are physically challenged. Recently, his son had a surgery that required Gerry to miss
quite a bit of work, which in turn, exhausted all of his vacation and personal days. Needless to say, because of the generosity
of our membership and their continued commitment towards solidarity, we were able to raise enough funds to hand Gerry a check
for $1,100.00 at the Communications Christmas party at Flanagans in Babylon. With over 80 Brothers past & present looking
on in attendance and the ability to make a difference, it personified the true meaning of the Holidays! THANK YOU ALL!!!
Fraternally,
William White
Editors note: Brother White's
efforts in this matter should be lauded as well, for without them there would've been no "Red Shirts"
and nothing of note for the Glennon family.
