I would like to wish a Happy New Years to all the sisters and brothers of Local 60.  I hope everyone took this time to spend and share with your family and friends. I also ask for all of us to reflect on the one’s all of us have lost this past years.  The year 2019 was a difficult year for some of our brothers and sisters.  Many of our members lost parents, children, siblings, and obviously brother and sisters of Smart-TD Local 60.  These unfortunate, but inevitable deaths should help all of us understand tomorrow is not promised.  We should take this time to learn to love one another, and at the least respect one another.  Respect is a MUST!!

I ask all of our members to give the change and new direction of our local a chance.  Our local had been plagued with disfunction and division.  I would like to thank all the union officers for their dedication, hard work, and pride they put in everyday supporting the vision we believe our local should go in, and what the members of Local 60 deserve and should expect.  With this great team the vision will come to fruition.  

I would like to thank all the members of Smart-TD Local 60 for the dedication, handwork, pride, professionalism, and respect they display everyday when performing their duties day after day, regardless of the circumstance.  Without our members nothing is possible.  

Lets collectively make the year 2020 better for our families, for our friends and for our brothers and sisters of Smart-TD Local 60.  With our members unified anything is possible, if we’re divided failure is the future and that would be unacceptable.  As ONE we’ll get it done!  

Fraternally,

Jerome

Brothers and Sisters:

I’m sure most people are aware of the passing of our brother Jermaine “Coach” Jenkins. It is with a heavy heart that I lay out the details of his services for his untimely and undeserved passing.

I would like to just share a few sentiments please. It’s imperative now, more than ever that we as a membership, as brother and sisters understand that life is not guaranteed to any of us. We must show, at a minimum respect for one another. Now is the time to unite! Brother Jenkins passing tells us if he could go any of us can go. He was and will always be a brother that would do anything for anyone. As a Local Vice President and Vice Local Chairman he protected our members and non members to the best of his abilities. His smile will never be forgotten, and his respect and love for our craft and everyone that belong’s to it can’t be questioned. He was a champion for what is right, and never had a problem to tell you when he thought you were wrong, but advice always came with it. Brother Jenkins was a great family man, and a spiritual man. His mark will be left on this union, this property forever!

I love my brother and will miss him dearly, I’m sure all of you will as well.

I would like to thank VP Ray Kenny for the letter sent out to our members regarding this untimely passing. I would also like to thank the Carrier for respecting and understanding this tragic loss affects our members and many more.

NJ Transit will be providing bus/shuttle services from Hamilton Train Station to the memorial.

Members should consider carpooling as well.

Brothers and Sisters:

I would like to wish everyone a great and safe holiday spent with family and friends. To all of our brothers and sisters that have to work this day, I thank you for your dedication and professionalism. While most 9-5 jobs have all holidays and weekends off and can spend all of them with their families, our members show up for work and complete the task at hand.

Have a great day, and thank you for all you do!

Jerome
