PAUL SALERNO - DELEGATE #7
I have 37 years in the school bus industry as a driver. Being a driver. I feel I can truly understand the problems that arise on a daily basis in our industry. I can help our members feel that they have someone to go to who completely understands what they experience on the job.
My abilities to take charge come from various position I have held in my past and present experiences. As Vice President of the Co-op where I reside, I made major decision with respect to keeping harmony among the shareholders. This position does not come without controversy as would come with satisfying shareholders in a complex of our size. My position included negotiating contracts, hiring and firing of employees and generally overseeing all projects done at the property.
I also held the position of Grand Knight at one of the largest Knights of Columbus councils in the New York area. I am currently Financial Secretary at this council. I am confident that I can represent our member issues and when elected, I will give 100% of my past and present experiences to do the right thing for Local 1181 members.
