An Update From the Field
Posted by jeckert on 06/23/2010
AAM Field Coordinator Jeff Rains held a very successful town hall meeting this month in Granite City, IL.
Jeff had several people from the community speak on behalf of the importance of manufacturing. Reverend Burton from United Congregations Metro East, Brenda Whitaker of the Granite City Council, Danny Simmons from USW local 1899, Jason Chism from USW Local 50 and Granite City Mayor Ed Hagnauer joined USW Liaison to AAM Ike Gittlen at the podium to reinforce how critical a strong manufacturing base is to the nation’s economy.
That evening Jeff also received an award for his activism in the community, a well-deserved tribute to a Granite City leader.
AAM field and site coordinators from the Midwest; Victor Storino, Karen Winchester, Mike Mitchell and Rachel Bennett Steury were on hand to assist.
