04 Dec The BCTGM Mourns the Death of International Director of Organization John Price

Posted at 12:46h in In Memoriam by

The BCTGM International Union is deeply saddened to announce the passing of BCTGM International Director of Organization John Price, who died on December 2, 2024. He was 64.

John was a tireless organizer and someone who never backed down from a challenge, particularly if there was an opportunity to bring new members into the BCTGM.

John began his Union career in 1979, as member of Local 6 employed at Bake Rite Rolls in Philadelphia. He was hired by the International Union as an Organizer in February 1990, and became a Region Two (now East-Central) International Representative in September 1990.

In 2013, John was named Director of Organization by International President David B. Durkee โ€“ a position he held until his passing.

John dedicated his entire working life to the BCTGM and was a good friend and Union Brother to many. He will be remembered in this Union for his unrelenting energy and enormous passion for unionizing workers across the U.S. and Canada.

He will be deeply missed.
