Dear Sisters and Brothers:
This May signified the last time that International Representative Victor Baffoni would be assisting the SMART General Committee 875 offices in Irwindale, CA. Mr. Baffoni will continue working as International Representative while completing assignments on various other properties.
For over four decades Vic served as an operator, a steadfast Union man and a true friend to many who have been lucky enough to serve with him. Vic took his first Union leadership role in 1983 as a Legislative Representative for Local 1565. For the next 30 years, Victor Baffoni devoted his life to his Union Brothers and Sisters serving as Chairman of the California State Legislative Board, Secretary to the General Committee of Adjustment, Chairman of Local 1608, Vice President of UTU, and finally SMART International Representative.
SMART General Committee 875 would like to thank Victor Baffoni for his many years of leadership,service and friendship. On a personal note, as your new General Chairman I had the opportunity to work in conjunction with Vic and remain certain that this General Committee will continue to meet and protect the ever-changing needs of its members.
Sincerely and Fraternally yours,
Marco Gudino
General Chairman
