MR. SERPICO: Yes, I am.
MR. RYAN: Laborers' Local 8 is one of the
unions in the Central States Joint Board?
MR. SERPICO: That's right.
MR. RYAN: In 1973 you became the president of
Laborers' Local 8 and of the Joint Board?
MR. SERPICO: I believe so. Around that.
MR. RYAN: At some point clbout that time?
MR. SERPICO: In that time period.
MR. RYAN: Is it also true you are now an
International vice-prosident of the Laborers' Interna­
tional Union of North America?
MR. SERPICO: Yes, I am. But I don't hold all
of these posts. I resigned my post as secretary-treasu­
rer of the Allied Novelty and Production Workers Inter­
national Union.
MR. RYAN: And that was part of the agreement
you had with Mr. Fnsco when you took the post as Inter­
national vice-president to the Laborers?
MR. SERPICO: It was not an agreement. It
was a discussion between him and I, and I was the one
that told him I would like to keep both posts.
MR. RYAN: Do you receive a salary from the
Central States Joint Board?
