“Sisters and Brothers, last Tuesday, I sent out the explanation below of APWU President Mark Dimondstein’s intention to propose the eliminate the Northeast Region Coordinator position upon the retirement of Coordinator John Dirzius at the end of this year. I have received many emails and phone calls at this point from Local Officers, all opposing the abolishment of this Executive Board position and merger of the Northeast Region Coordinator duties and responsibilities into the Eastern Region Coordinator’s position.”
