Union administration

Assistant Secretary-Treasurer

Mack I. Julion was elected assistant secretary-treasurer by acclamation in 2022 at the 72nd Biennial Convention in Chicago. 

Julion began his career as a letter carrier in Chicago, IL, in 1997 and joined Branch 11. He served his branch as steward, sergeant-at-arms and branch auditor. In 2008, NALC President William Young appointed Julion to the post of regional administrative assistant for Region 3. The next year, Branch 11 elected Julion as branch president. He was reelected branch president by the members in 2012, 2015 and by acclamation in 2018. Julion is also an arbitration advocate and intervention specialist. NALC President Fredric Rolando appointed Julion as a national trustee in May 2018 to fill a vacancy before he was elected to the position by mail ballot of NALC members later that year.

Julion also is a member of the Chicago Federation of Labor’s Executive Board and delegate to the National Executive Board of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists. In addition, Julion serves on the Chicago Amalgamated Bank Labor Council, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Labor Advisory Board and the Chicago local advisory board for United Way Emergency Food and Shelter Programs. He graduated from NALC Leadership Academy in 2006.

Julion cites the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as an inspiration to his own personal journey.  “I believe we are all called to serve,” he said. “My work in the labor movement is consistent with the core principles of my Christian faith and it is a continuation of Dr. King’s fight for social justice.”

Julion has an associate degree from Harold Washington College in Mental Health: Addiction Studies and has completed labor courses at UIC and the National Labor College. Mack is the father of six and resides in Westchester, IL, with his wife, Veronica, who also is a letter carrier.

As assistant secretary-treasurer, Julion said he is committed to working hard for NALC members. “I am excited about the opportunity to continue to serve our members and make the best possible decisions for the well-being and future of our great union.”
