DBR "Bud" Duryea receives award
Western Territory GVP Lee Pearson recently
presented “Awards of Excellence” to two Business Representatives from the
Western Territory for outstanding effort and success in contract negotiations
and a major arbitration victory. Receiving the awards were Virginia Cobb, Area
Director and Business Representative for District 725, serving the San Diego, CA
area; and Marion “Bud” Duryea, Business Representative for Local 2515 in
Alamogordo, New Mexico.
BR Cobb received the award in recognition for her achievement in securing a
quality first contract for IAM members at L-3 Vertex. Brother Duryea received
his award in recognition of a major arbitration win, where an independent
arbitrator ordered an unjustly terminated member was ordered back to work in a
ruling that could be worth up to $40,000.
“I think it is important to recognize how hard our representatives work for our
membership,” said GVP Pearson. “Virginia Cobb and Bud Duryea put in the long
hours and sacrifice to improve the lives of IAM members. Getting a first
contract and winning a good decision from an arbitrator are not easy tasks and
the success they delivered is proof of their dedication and effort. I am very
proud of them, and of all our representatives.”
Congratulations Bud!
