NFFE Welcomes New Business Representative

Washington, DC-The National Federation of Employees (NFFE-IAM) is pleased to announce that a new Business Representative, Gary Johanson, has been hired to represent NFFE members in the Midwestern region of the United States.

Johanson has a wide array of experience in the federal sector, having worked for the United States Postal Service, at a VA hospital, and most recently for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  He served as a union officer while working in all of those capacities, and served as president of NFFE FL2174, which represents BLM employees in Nevada.  Johanson recently resigned from federal employment to join NFFE’s staff and serve as a Business Representative.

“I am honored to have this opportunity to serve federal employees and am mindful of my responsibility to work hard for our dues-paying members,” said Johanson.

Adding Johanson to our current team will be an asset to both NFFE members living in the Midwest region and others around the country.  He will bring his own unique experience to the position, while also allowing more time and energy to be devoted to all of our locals.

Johanson began his new position this week, and has spent the last few days completing orientation in the National office.  He will be relocating to the Midwest in the immediate future, though a specific location has not yet been finalized.  He will soon begin contacting all the locals in his region, so those members in the Midwest can expect to receive correspondence from him in the near future.

“I am thrilled to welcome Brother Johanson to our National staff,” said NFFE National President/DBR Richard N. Brown.  “I am confident he will prove a great asset to this union, and I look forward to working with him to represent the needs and interests of NFFE members.”
