Lunzer to visit newsroom Monday

Bernie Lunzer, secretary-treasurer of The Newspaper Guild and candidate for president of our international union, is scheduled to be in Milwaukee on Monday afternoon. He plans to tour the Journal Sentinel's downtown newsroom to meet and talk with JS staffers.

Lunzer is running against international Guild President Linda Foley in the first contested election for that office in more than a decade. Former Milwaukee Guild President Jennie Tunkieicz is Lunzer’s campaign treasurer. An overview of the candidates' backgrounds and positions in the race for international president is featured in the latest issue of our newsletter, “Fifty-One.”

Milwaukee Guild members will have the chance to vote for international Guild president, secretary-treasurer and chairperson at a polling place to be set up near the downtown newsroom during the last week of April
