                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 7, 2003

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of 
Carlo Carriere, a highly respected and influential member of the 
Glaziers local Union 1087 who recently announced his retirement. In his 
32 years as a member, Carlo was a leading voice for labor. He joined 
the union as an apprentice in 1970 and quickly became a leader.
  Carlo proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1966 
to 1968 where he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. After the 
terrorist attacks of 9/11, he again served his country by leading a 
contingent of Glaziers in rescue and clean up of the World Trade Center 
site.
  As a member of LU 1087, Carlo was elected District Council Delegate 
in 1973 and just three years later was elected to the Executive Board 
in 1976. He continued his accession in 1982 when he was elected as Vice 
President of the LU 1087. During his tenure as Vice President Carlo, 
became a Business Representative and was elected Chairman of the 
National Glaziers and Glass Workers Apprenticeship Program in 1990. He 
also served as a Trustee to the Union Funds beginning in 1986. In 1995 
he was elected Business Manager of LU 1087. Just one year later, upon 
the full affiliation of LU 1087 with District Council 9, Carlo was 
appointed Assistant Secretary-Treasurer.
  Carlo Carriere is responsible for the current strength of LU 1087. He 
leaves behind a strong legacy and is a good example of the difference 
one person can make. I applaud Carlo for his dedication to our 
community, and thank him on behalf of the people of the 4th 
Congressional District who have benefitted from his hard work and 
commitment.
