in David B. Durkee
“Brother Durkee was the definition of a true union activist and fought to protect his members at every turn. I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the fight against corporations who outsourced jobs overseas. He was a tireless advocate who was committed to the principles of the labor movement. The news of his passing hurt myself and our IAM family deeply. We offer our thoughts and prayers to David’s family and all BCTGM members as they go through this difficult time.”
– IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr.
