lawyer Eddie Demmings retires
After fighting for members rights for 27 years,
General Counsel Eddie Demmings has retired from District Council 37.
His
contributions to the membership have been very important, said DC 37 Executive
Director Lillian Roberts, and his expertise at training attorneys has helped
our Legal Department become one of the best. Roberts named Demmings general
counsel four years ago.
Protecting members jobs is our mission,
said Demmings at his retirement party Oct. 1. Demmings battled to protect members
rights and benefits in hundreds of cases.
These cases fight every
city attempt to violate the contract, Demmings said. Our victories
say the union is here for its members and put the city on notice that DC 37 will
not look the other way while management violates their rights. | |
