![]() “The collective hearts of America’s unions, particularly transportation labor, are broken by the tragic death of our brother, Transportation Trades Department (TTD) President Larry Willis,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Monday. “We mourn today the shocking loss of a brother and fierce advocate for working people," said TTD Secretary-Treasurer Greg Regan. "“Millions of people have had their lives improved because of the work Larry did, yet most of those people will never know Larry’s name. For Larry, that didn’t matter. He was not motivated by fame or fortune – his end goal was always about doing the most good for the greatest number of people." Trumka added that “Larry’s passing is a reminder that we cannot take a single day for granted, and the AFL-CIO will honor his memory by fighting for the issues he championed and the people he loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with Larry’s wife and daughter, along with the entire TTD family, during this difficult time.” Comments are closed.
