                       HONORING DANNY TRULL, SR.

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARC A. VEASEY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2015

  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Danny Trull, Sr., 
on his retirement as the United Auto Workers Union's (UAW) Assistant 
Director for his service to the men and women of the United Automobile 
Workers, and for his years of service on the Texas State Democratic 
Executive Committee. Mr. Trull's well-deserved retirement comes after a 
forty-two year tenure in organized labor. During this time, Mr. Trull 
has been dedicated to advocating for worker's rights, promoting the 
values of the Democratic Party, and supporting the local, state and 
national labor movement.
  During his years of work with the labor movement, Mr. Trull has made 
a direct impact on his community through his numerous roles at UAW and 
with the Democratic Party of Texas. Mr. Trull began his career at UAW 
on July 9, 1973, when he started working for Tyler Refrigeration and 
became a member of Local 514. Upon the closing of Local 514, he became 
a member of Local 276 and went on the International Staff in 1987, 
working in the Time Study Department. In 1996, he transferred to Region 
5 as a Service Representative based in the Dallas office and continued 
to serve Region 5 out of the Dallas office when he was transferred to 
the National CAP Department in 2007. He was appointed to his current 
position of Assistant Regional Director in 2012, from which he is 
retiring at the end of this year.
  Aside from his work with UAW, Trull has continued to be a community 
leader as a delegate to state and national Democratic Conventions, and 
as a State Democratic Executive Committee member in 2002. Mr. Trull is 
a well-known champion for Texas jobs and workers, coordinating UAW 
political activity in the state and region and fighting for higher 
wages and benefits for hardworking Americans. The automobile industry 
is a powerful economic engine in the 33rd Congressional District and 
will continue to be for years because of Mr. Trull's lifelong 
commitment to his community and the people who live and work there. I 
wish him all the best.
  In honor of Mr. Trull's retirement and his dedication and leadership 
within the public service community, this statement will be submitted 
on Monday, November 16, 2015.
