Local Board and Delegate
Negativity is not productive - actions are. I’ve been on 8 Negotiating Committees and I Chair the Stand In Committee. I’ve written two proposals for BG Actors and Stand Ins which are “institutional proposals” across all contracts. I too lost my earned Lifetime Medical and Syndication Residuals and I am angry about that. I want to be part of the solution. I have the temperament, passion and knowledge for this. And I show up. I always show up. Please let me continue what I’ve started. Vote Drescher/Fisher - Unity2023.com

I volunteer because someone did it for me. Not directly of course but I am the beneficiary of those who have volunteered before.
I have had health care for over 30 years because someone volunteered their time to negotiate that.
I have a pension because someone volunteered their time to negotiate that. And gave up their residuals prior to 1960.
Everything I have - every rate, every adjustment, all the terms and conditions are because someone showed up and volunteered their time to negotiate that.
So it’s time to pay it forward.
The union is changing so much that what I took for granted isn’t available to as many people as it was before. I look at the younger people I work with and I hope they will have at least what I have after all the time and hard work they are putting in.
So I show up.
I fight. I argue. I suggest. I speak in person to the AMPTP.
I have been a part of 7 negotiating committees now and it’s eye opening to see what management really thinks of us. I call it an exhausting privilege.
All of that makes me even more appreciative of those who have gone before.
I hope I can leave a better union behind by my service. Like someone did for me.
