On July 27, 2006 at the IATSE General Executive Board Meeting being held in Calgary, John Ford, President of New York Production Local 52, was elected International Vice President of the IATSE. At the time of the election, Brother Ford was serving the IATSE as one of its three International Trustees.
“John Ford comes to the Board with trade unionism in his blood and he has been a driving force in the leadership of his local union. He will be a tremendous addition to this General Executive Board,” International President Short said.
Vice President Ford was elected as Local 52’s Secretary-Treasurer in 1999. The over 3200-member local has been thriving under his leadership as President and Business Manager since 2004.
