Endorsements for Elaine Ocasio
as the next IBEW Local 45 Business Manager.
My name is Dave Mumby and I was the Union Steward at KCAL-TV from 1999-2002.
I was also a member of the
Naval Reserve and was called back to active duty because of 9-11.
Elaine Ocasio stepped up to
the plate and took over the Steward position where she has set the standard in
regards to Union Leadership that is second to none.
Elaine has established a
proven track record success in resolving both individual as well as station
wide issues. Her good judgment and
excellent negotiating skills are respected by both staff and management. She has been a true advocate for the
rights of the bargaining unit under each successive contract.
Elaine Ocasio has the
experience and ability to guide Local 45 into the unexpected future of
Broadcast Television. She has been
at the leading edge of the changes in technology that has and will continue to
impact our membership.
Elaine has been involved in
many facets of Union Leadership.
She has served on The Executive Board and on several Contract
Negotiating Teams. In
addition, Elaine was recently selected to be Chief Steward for KCBS/KCAL-TV.
Elaine’s experience and
dedication to her union brothers and sisters and her stellar negotiating skills
make her the ideal candidate for the next IBEW Local 45 Business Manager.

I support Elaine Ocasio
for Business Manager of Local 45.
Elaine has always been available to listen to whatever union concerns I
have. She has strong leadership qualities. She will fight for what is needed and
protect what has already been fought for.
She does not back down.
In theses times when
the company is trying to get what they can from the union, we need change.
We need an intelligent
person who will not easily admit defeat in spite of difficulties or opposition.
Elaine has all the
qualities we need in a Business Manager:
Loyalty to the membership, compassion to listen to all concerns and the
drive to act immediately.

Elaine Ocasio worked
tirelessly for our in-house union at KCOP-TV. Her efforts far surpassed her duties as union
treasurer. She was instrumental in
organizing for our election to join IATSE. Afterward, she continued her service for the union as a
steward.
Elaine’s dedication and
intelligence would definitely
be an asset to Local 45 as
Business Manager.
