Dear members,

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of IUPAT DC 35 Political and Legislative Director John Laughlin.

Apart from John’s position with IUPAT, he helped advance the interests of all Local 589 members as our press and political consultant. In his role working for Local 589, he helped us shine a spotlight on the issues impacting our members, such as driver assaults.

John was an all around great guy and always had a smile on his face. He also had a real passion for improving working conditions and helping working families everywhere. The labor movement lost one of the great ones today. He will be greatly missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

A wake for John will be held on Monday October 27, 2014 from 4:00PM to 8:00PM in the Solimin Funeral Home, 426 Broadway (RTE 129), LYNN. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 12:30PM at Carson Place at the Boston Teachers Union Hall, 180 Mt. Vernon St., Dorchester, MA 02125. Doors will open at 12:00PM and the Memorial Service will be followed by a Collation. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the

Leukemia And Lymphoma Society Donor Services PO Box 4072 Pittsfield, MA 01202. Directions and guestbook at www.solimine.com.

Thank you,

Executive Board
Boston Carmen’s Union, Local 589
