Gerald Kappauff (Recording Secretary )

I have been a member of Local 618 for over (30) thirty years. I was employed at Ogden Aviation Fueling Inc. at St. Louis International Airport. I served as Chief Steward for over (11) eleven years. I assisted my fellow members with grievances and grievance meetings. I witnessed many arbitration's as Chief Steward, but most of all my favorite duty as steward was assisting in our contract negotiations. I found it very challenging at times, but the ending results were most rewarding.

I'm very proud and pleased to announce my appointment to the position with Teamsters Local 618 as Organizer/Business Agent in
January 2002. We are very fortunate to have a team with so much experience. I look forwarding to meeting the members of Local 618. Any assistance on organizing leads that members can provide to me would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to call me.
