Terry Lansing elected to lead Bakers Local 114

Terry Lansing has been elected financial secretary-treasurer of Portland-based Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Local 114. He was appointed to the post in November 2004 following the retirement of Laurel Koch. His elected term is for three years.

Georgene Barragan was re-elected president and Gene Beaudoin was re-elected as business agent of the 1,000- member union that represents primarily wholesale and retail bakery workers in Oregon.

Also elected to Local 114 posts were: Vice President Mike Connelly, Recording Secretary Shad Clark, Executive Board members Charlotte Freeland, Joel Kundert, Marilyn Michael, Nancy Milner, Claudine Pruitt and Jeff Wesson; Trustees Sharron Rainey, Sharon Graham and Brenda Kenderdine; and delegate Terry McCleery and alternate Shad Clark.

Mail ballots were counted Dec. 13. All terms are for three years.

Lansing has been a member of Local 114 since 1976, where he worked as a packer at Williams Bakery. He was a shop steward at the plant and served on the union’s Executive Board, as recording secretary, and as a trustee.

Retired Secretary-Treasurer Noel Johnson hired Lansing as an assistant business agent in 1990. Lansing was elected business agent representing retail bakery workers from 1992 to 2004. The local’s Executive Board tapped him to fill the unexpired term of Financial Secretary-Treasurer Laurel Koch, who retired Nov. 10, 2004.

Beaudoin, a Portland native, is starting his fifth term as an elected business agent. He joined the Bakers Union in 1976 at Franz Bakery, where he was a shop steward. He held various positions on the union’s executive board, culminating with his election as president in 1990.

Beaudoin was appointed business representative in 1992. He has been re-elected to the post ever since.
