President Brian Clardy and Secretary/Treasurer Mike Powers spent some time with our Charleston Movie Industry members on the set of the Netflix show, "Outer Banks." They are currently working hard on episodes for Season 4! Local 509 members are also hard at work for the 4th Season of the HBO show, "Righteous Gemstones.
The Local Union 509 membership is informed that recently Brother Ready passed away at the age of 91. Brother Ready served honorably in the United States Army in the Korean War. Brother Ready began working in the trucking industry in 1951 and became an Executive Board Member of the Local Union. Brother Ready was instrumental in serving on every position on the Executive Board. In 1990 he reached the top spot by being elected as President. In 1992 Brother Ready made the decision to retire and spend more time with his beloved family as they all enjoyed the farm that was so very close to Brother Ready’s heart. Local Union 509 appreciates the dedication and commitment that Brother Ready unselfishly showed in paving the way for so many union members and their families. Brother Ready will be missed.
