"Growing up, I watched my father work hard every day and I was very aware of the benefits his union membership provided for our family," said John J. Aman, Esquire.
"My late father was a warehouseman and belonged to the Teamsters for almost 30 years.Every employment I have had has been union-related, this being reminiscent of my father's beliefs and ideals.As a history major, I became aware of the importance of unions in this country's fight for a better way of life for its hard-working citizens.In law school, I took several labor law courses and became very cognizant of the great role unions have played in the development of many of our legal principles.Now in my present union membership, I am aware of how hard my union works every day to make my family's existence a better one.Unions have played a critical role in protecting our children throughout our country's great history."
