Teamsters Local 710 lost a truly dedicated union brother, Joe Finck. Brother Finck was a Local 710 Teamster for 31½ years working as a full-time Package Car Driver out of the Hammond UPS Center. He served as a Union Steward for four years and was recently reelected to the position. He was incredibly committed to his work and family, and he will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our hearts and prayers go out to Joe and his family.
