In Memoriam

The Local 5 family mourns the loss of our President John Nunes who passed away unexpectedly on September 13. John began his union career in 1989 as a union representative for Local 870, the Alameda County-based predecessor to Local 5.

After the merger that created Local 5, John served as the union’s bargaining director before being elected president in 2014. John was 68 years old at the time of his death. Our thoughts are with his wife Pam, along with his family and friends.
