Good Afternoon,
I wanted to share with everyone that after 36 yrs I have decided to retire from a&t. My last day on payroll will
be Friday July 3, 2026.
I will continue to pay my Union dues and serve as your Local President through the remainder of this term and
beyond if elected for another term.
Three years ago, Local 4009 Executive Board and I committed to reshaping how we operate
as a Local, to increase engagement thru our committees and to mentor future leaders. We have been very
successful in meeting these goals.
This year has been filled with changes and challenges including the merger with Local 4123 and negotiations of
several bargaining agreements. I look forward to being able to focus 100% of my time on the needs of Local
4009.
It has been an honor to work with everyone, and I am grateful for the friendships I have made during this
Journey. I will continue to serve our Union with dedication and commitment.
With Gratitude Jim Simons

Thank you to our Human Rights Committee and members of 4009. Once again you have out done yourselves and made the food drive for Beech Elementary a success. On June 18th the food and $300 in CASH DONATIONS were delivered, and as you can see we have restocked their shelves for the summer. The staff and families from Beech Elementary wanted to thank each of you for your generosity!!!
