Teddy is not going into a muchdeserved retirement. He will continue as president emeritus of ILA and as president of local 1. the local he founded and the second largest local of the ILA. I have long admired Teddys dedication to his goals and causes and deep devotion to ensuring the rights of his fellow workers. I would like to reflect for a moment on Teddys life and accomplishments. The son of poor Irish immigrants. Teddy. at age 15. began working on the docks of New Yorks West Side. Hour after hour. year after year. he performed the backbreaking work required.
