Here is what union sisters and brothers are saying
about Tom Seither:
“Tom and I served on the “87 Flying Squadron together, then
we both came to the board together in ‘90. I've always been impressed by Tom's
commitment to the Union movement as a way o f helping others. He is dependable,
straightforward and doesn't take himself too seriously. He'll make a great Vice
President. I hope you will support him too."
Dawn Morgan - past president, OPEU
“I've seen Tom Seither wear many hats over the years; from shop steward represent­
ing state workers, organizer o f our county employee's local, and district director.
Seither is very clearly a leader and a strong voice promoting union participation and
the power o f unity. Seither has my vote fo r Vice President."
