Dear fellow supporters ,
Though I am not at this time able to fully impart my appreciation, I nevertheless need to sincerely thank you, the 1739 members, for your vote. I am greatly honored and encouraged by your support. Though I was not elected I do not view it as defeat and I will continue to address our union's issues and press for correction through transparency, honesty and accountability.
In solidarity,
Daniel J. Franco
LU157, UBCJA

Ignorance is slavery. Knowledge is freedom. To impede information is to impede democracy.
