my name is alex tunison, i'm the representative organizer for ifpg local 21 at the golden gate bridge transportation district. i represent engineers and allied workers at the bridge including bridge inspectors, the folk that are designing the suicide barrier and other important workout there. i'm also the co-chair for the golden gate bridge labor coalition, the coalition of 14 unions that bargain collectively for collective contract agreements. i'm here speaking on behalf of ifpt local 21, not the whole coalition, make that clear. i have pep a lot of time at the bridge and at the district the last few years. i've been working there. i want to speak on behalf of all four of these board members and support their reappointments. i think it's important that we have an open dialogue and communication and i look forward to working with all four of them. you know, it's a very, very important entity around the whole bay area. it is a transportation district. focus on the bridge itself. but remember that part of our coalition, we have folks that work in the ferries, folks that maintain the bus
