Butler returns to leadership post

Vince Butler, one of the Milwaukee Newspaper Guild’s most experienced leaders, is back in a senior role.

The local’s Executive Board has appointed Butler as a steward leader, overseeing contract enforcement, membership and mobilizing for the sports, JS Online and News Information Center staffs. He will fill the term of Jeff Maillet, who stepped down, citing time constraints. Maillet, an assistant sports editor, was in his fifth term as a steward leader.

Butler, a sports copy editor, previously served five terms as a steward leader, in addition to one term as a vice president, five terms as a board member and several stints on our bargaining committee. He was most recently a sports steward.
