It is with profound sadness that I inform you that our beloved Brother A. Michael Mullane passed away early this morning, January 1, 2016.

Michael was the longest-serving member of our great union’s Executive Board, representing IAFF members in the 3rd District for over 30 years as our District Vice President. He was also one of the greatest champions of our members and workers everywhere that this union and our labor movement will ever know.

All of our thoughts and prayers go out to Elaine, Neal Jr. and Michael's personal family, as well as his Boston Local 718 and IAFF extended family. 

There will be so much to say about this extraordinary man. We have already begun the process of assisting with the plans to celebrate and honor Michael's life and incredible career. We will keep you informed.

Stay safe,

Harold A. Schaitberger 
General President
