IAM International Representative Gary Hynes Retires After 49 Years of Service
IAM International Representative Gary Hynes has announced his retirement after 49 years of membership with the IAM Union.
Gary began his journey with the IAM in 1976 as a member of Local 1922. Over the decades, he went on to hold many leadership roles, including serving as Directing Business Representative (DBR) of District 78, before being appointed as an International Representative. His dedication, experience, and steady leadership have left a lasting impact on members and the broader labour movement.
A lifelong advocate for working people, Gary has always brought integrity, commitment, and a strong voice for workers to every position he has held. Beyond his daily responsibilities, he has been a strong supporter of Guide Dogs of America – Tender Loving Canines (GDA | TLC) and played an active role on the Host Committee for the IAM International Convention, raising funds and strengthening the IAM community.
The IAM extends its deepest thanks to Gary Hynes for his nearly five decades of commitment and leadership and congratulates him as he enters this next chapter.
