President Icaza built the foundation for a strong union
that encourages participation and growth. Under his
leadership, rank and file members like myself have
evolved into activists, and we are ready to continue
fighting for fairness and pushing for progress. The future
of our union stands on the shoulders of his legacy.

It has been a pleasure to be apart of the union knowing that our
President has made it so we can have fair wages & working conditions.
We have always had medical insurance through his negotiations, he has
made it possible to have assistance for us or our children for school
among countless other programs. Thank you for your service & your
efforts will be remembered for our current members & our future. Thank
you for you service.

I’d like to wish Rick and his family all the best and extend
my gratitude and appreciation for all that he’s done for
our union throughout his tenure. I thank him for a job
extremely well done, my family and I appreciate all the
benefits we’ve enjoyed over the years and I thank Rick
for maintaining the strength of our union. I’m a proud
50 year member, proud shop steward and proud to be a
part of Rick’s legacy.

I have been a Union Member for the past 22 years and have seen
how difficult Union contracts have been. Luckily for all of us, we
have Mr. Rick Icaza. He has done extraordinary work over the
years as President of our union. I personally want to thank him
for negotiating good contracts with good salaries so that we can
take good care of our families. Needless to say, I am sorry to see
him leave the union, at the same time I want to wish him a happy
retirement and to wish him well in his new venture. We will miss
you here at the union.
