William “Bill” Lewis
Eastern Regional Coordinator
The Member’s Candidate
My Pledge To The Membership
Communicating directly with local leadership, stewards and the membership. In this day and age we must use all available means to reach out in a timely manner to our activists, members and stewards. Communication is our key to success.
When was the last time you got an email, facebook post, tweet from our current Regional Coordinator with important information?
Promoting education for all APWU representatives on a regular basis.
Aggressively fight ALL excessing, with 2017 rapidly approaching and more plant closings and excessing in our future. As everyone is painfully aware, we have had consolidations and massive excessing as far back as 2007 and we did nothing.
We can no longer accept hundreds of members being excessed like we experienced in the past without a fight. Status Quo is no longer acceptable.
Fix our current broken Grievance Arbitration Process. Management is controlling the scheduling of the arbitrations and we have done nothing.

I have known Mike Gallagher, Eastern Region Coordinator since meeting him in the summer of 1989. I was impressed immediately and continue to be so. Mike had served as an NBA prior to becoming Regional Coordinator and when he assumed that position he continued the great work he had done as an NBA. I was asked by Mike to support him when he first ran for coordinator and my reasons for saying yes then are the same as they are now. If you have seen Mike’s list of locals and president’s that support him in this election, it’s clear that he has assisted locals throughout the region over the years and continues to do so. Mike was instrumental in reshaping the tri-state training held by PA, NJ and DE. I urge everyone to support Mike in this election. LeRoy Moyer, past president of PPWU.
