Throughout the course of our 157-year history, countless proud OPCMIA members have served in the armed forces of the United States and Canada, defending our countries’ freedom. We are indebted to them for their patriotism, courage, and heroism.

As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil, let us honor the heroes of that tragic day and let us take to heart the lessons of 9/11 so that we bring out the best of our union and our nations in the months and years to come.

I want to wish all OPCMIA members and their families a happy Labor Day! I hope that in addition to family gatherings, barbecues or other events, you’re able to take the time to reflect on what the labor movement means to you, to your brothers and sisters, and to our nation as a whole.

On behalf of the OPCMIA, I want to offer my heartiest congratulations to Liz Shuler on her election as President of the AFL-CIO.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden passing of AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka this morning. Over more than four decades of leadership, Rich Trumka leaves a legacy worthy of Samuel Gompers, Eugene Debs, John L. Lewis, William Green, Walter Reuther, George Meany and so many other titans of the U.S. labor movement.

On behalf of the OPCMIA, I wish all our proud members and their families a happy, healthy July 4th! There is a lot to celebrate this year. Because nearly 70 percent of Americans have been vaccinated, the COVID pandemic is fading in much of the U.S. and life is returning to normal.

In my view, Memorial Day 2021 means many different things. First and foremost, as always, it is a solemn occasion in which we honor all those — many of whom were part of the OPCMIA family — who made the ultimate sacrifice for our countries and our freedom. We are forever in their debt.

On behalf of the OPCMIA’s 56,000 proud members, I want to thank President Biden, and the 220 U.S. Representatives and 50 U.S. Senators whose signature and votes, respectively, made the American Rescue Plan the law of the land.
