Mike Lowery, Secretary-Treasurer, Announces Retirement

Message from President Allen :

Mike Lowery, Secretary-Treasurer of the ADC, has announced to me his desire to retire at the end of June 2020.

It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
- Barack Obama
