Retired

Prior to bargaining retirement benefits, the Local had an arrangement with Bristol Aerospace and the Federal Government, that when a layoff was going to take place, employees could take a volunteer layoff, meaning that they could collect E.I benefits for 6 months,and then retire, if they chose to do so. Thus saving someone from being laid off. This is not all of them, but they should be remembered as members who gave up their employment for someone.

 The members who passed away while still working. Gone far too early.
