Andy:
So sorry to hear of Chuck Fisher's passing.It was people like Chuck that
made this union The Little Union That Could. Chuck was a fearless
leader who would not let himself or his brothers and sisters be intimidated
by a giant corporation. I am proud to have known and worked with him. Chuck
will be sorely missed by the labor movement. I will pray for Chuck
and his family.
