As the saying goes…
The only thing rain stops is Baseball and Cricket. IAM members that came out representing their various work groups and families on Saturday, 9/23/23 in the rain is a testament of Union Solidarity. IAM General Vice President of Air Transportation Territory Richie Johnsen along with Chief of Staff Edison Fraser and Grand Lodge Representative Gary Naylor were all present. President of New Jersey State Council of Machinists Cristino Vilorio graced us with his presence.



The event featured Various Committees of our Local 914 displaying and distributing a variety of educational and informational materials for members on how to become more union savvy. Entertainment Committee chairperson Tasha Willis and her team did a fantastic job promoting and putting the event together. They provided everything possible from various food trucks, clown faces painting, numerous family table games like Poker and Connect4, a live DJ and a HUGE 40’x100′ tent that kept our members from the inclement weather. Huge support came from some of our sponsors such as NGP (National Group Protection Insurance) and Martin & melody, LLC Attorneys at Law.
Unity, Family, Strength, & Growth were in full display at the event. Enormous THANK YOU to everyone who participated and to those that couldn’t attend form Local Lodge 914. Solidarity forever!
