Update your smart-phones! ATU President Larry Hanley recently appointed driver Natalie Perez to the international union's Field Mobilization Department. Perez, who has been based in Cleveland since 2003, has served as a Local 1700 steward and organizer. Also, change Perez's surname to Cruz. She and her high school sweetheart, William Cruz, tied the knot in April.
“We will miss Natalie in Cleveland,” said Bruce Hamilton, “but she remains a committed member of Local 1700, and she will never be far from the work we’re all engaged in.”
