"Our nation mourns the loss of a legendary champion for American workers and families. Jerry McEntee was a force of nature for organized labor -- inspiring in his vision and unyielding in his determination to build a brighter, fairer future for all.

For 31 years as president, Jerry transformed AFSCME into a pillar of the labor movement by mobilizing workers with a groundbreaking national organizing strategy.

His sharp mind & iconic toughness also helped @HouseDemocrats enact consequential legislation for families.

May it be a comfort to his wife Barbara, his sister Mary Casale, his daughters Patricia, Kathleen and Kelly, his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and all proud members of AFSCME that so many are praying with them during this sad time.
