Lynn Pallas-Barber

The APWU Clerk Division Council approved the appointment of Lynn Pallas-Barber to the position of Assistant Clerk Craft Director “B” at a meeting on March 7. Pallas-Barber fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Lyle Krueth in January.

Pallas-Barber was recommended by Clerk Craft Director Clint Burelson. “Lynn is level headed, has good union values, and is not afraid to speak her mind,” he said. “Her past experience in handling excessing issues for the Central Region, arbitration experience, institutional memory, and geographic perspective will all serve to complement and add value to the current Clerk Craft officers and the union as a whole.”

Pallas-Barber is serving as Clerk Craft National Business Agent “C” in the Chicago Region, as position she has held since 2004. She is a member of the 498-499 Area Local in Michigan, and has attended every National Convention since 1990.
