“IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli said, ‘District 77 and its locals came together to make a difference for families during the holidays. Their effort speaks volumes about who we are as a union. I’m proud of the work our members continue to do in their communities.’”
“IAM Local 737 President Eric Jorgensen stated, ‘Supporting Toys for Tots reflects the spirit of solidarity our members show all year. Locals 737 and 459 didn’t just contribute funds, they put in the time, energy, and heart to make sure kids in our community feel the joy of the season. I’m proud of the generosity our members continue to demonstrate.’”
District 77 has emphasized that giving back is an important part of its identity and expressed pride in supporting local families during the holidays.
