International President Robert Martinez Jr. has appointed Ernest “Red” Dow as Special Representative to the Western Territory.
Ernest “Red” Dow initiated into the IAM on January 1, 1980 working as a Machinist at General Electric for 30 years at the time of its closing.
Brother Ernest has held numerous positions with Local Lodge 794, in Albuquerque, NM.
