Effective Saturday, August 6, 2011, Michael Hora will join the staff at the NPMHU’s National Office as a member of the Contract Administration Department (CAD). Brother Hora is currently serving as the Local President of Local 321, in Denver, Colorado. He will leave that position, and move to Washington, DC, to start his new assignment.

“I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Hora,” said National President John Hegarty. “It is a testament to Mike that from the deep talent pool of dedicated Local Union officers and representatives from around the country, he was selected to serve in this position.”

President Hegarty continued: “This appointment comes at a critical time for the NPMHU, and Mike’s addition to the National CAD will give us additional resources and insight as we face the challenges going forward.”

Brother Hora has served since early 2002 as the President of Local 321, representing mail handlers throughout the State of Colorado. He has been a mail handler for more than twenty-six years, and has served the NPMHU in a wide variety of positions over those years. Prior to his election as Local President, he was Local Vice President and Branch President of the Denver Air Mail Center, and he also served for many years as a Local 321 shop steward and arbitration advocate.

At the National level, Mike has been a member of the NPMHU’s Committee on the Future for the past four years, and he served on the Field Negotiating Committee in preparation for both the 2006 and 2011 national negotiations. He also served on the Resolutions Committee for the 2004 NPMHU National Convention, and the Constitution Committee for the 2008 NPMHU National Convention.

Please welcome Mike to the National CAD.
