About Brett…

Alright where do I start? Hired in at Lockheed on March 27th, 2000 after working what I would call the circuit, 10 years Boeing and 12 plus years at Northrop. I was a proponent for labor unions after my years spent at Northrop and experienced a non union shop and what that meant if you weren't in with the clicks. Long story. I became involved with the union after not being fairly represented in a layoff dispute, and made up my mind that I would do what ever I can to help our members not experience that kind of unfair treatment going forward. My first involvement was running for steward in 2010 successfully, then an opening on our e-board opened for the V.P. and I threw my hat in the ring. After a couple of years I decided to run for local President, unsuccessfully and was out a short time until I was approached with the Secretary Treasurer position opening and asked if I would be willing to help out, the rest is history. I have run for the grievance/negotiating committee, successfully and was able to negotiate what I feel was a very fair and lucrative contract with the negotiating team for the membership.

What are your Goals for the Position you Hold?

To make our local solvent and prosperous and to carefully manage the memberships money's while growing our funds to allow for varied activities to be paid for for the memberships benefit.

Additional information you’d like the membership to know?

My goal has always been to improve our local union through engagement of the membership. We have made improvements but we still have lots of work to do.
