George Mignosi was appointed Vice President by NALC President Fredric V. Rolando in July 2009 to fill a vacancy.
Mignosi began his postal career in 1979 as a clerk at the GPO in New York City, but soon moved to the carrier craft and became a member of Brooklyn Branch 41 in 1980.
By 1986, he was an NALC shop steward at Canarsie Station and was elected as a delegate to the 1986 NALC Convention in St. Paul.
His experience at that 55th National Convention was unforgettable and “career-changing. For the first time, I really saw and understood the power letter carriers could bring to themselves,” Mignosi said. “I learned that we are stronger, that we are empowered, when we work together to enforce the National Agreement on the workroom floor. I came home charged up.”
Mignosi served Branch 41 in a series of increasingly responsible offices—assistant financial secretary, vice president and vice president/chief steward. In 1999, NALC President Vincent R.
Sombrotto selected him to serve as a full-time RAA for the NALC Region 15.
He was appointed National Business Agent for the New York Metro Region in February 2002 to fill a vacancy, and was elected to that office by acclamation at the Philadelphia Convention later that year. At the 2006 National Convention in Las Vegas, he was elected Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, again by acclamation.
Mignosi and his wife, Cheri, have two daughters. |
