Tony Reardon was elected today as the new National President of NTEU by delegates to the union’s 55th national convention. He received 89 percent of the votes cast.
[Tony Reardon]Reardon, a 25-year NTEU veteran, is currently the NTEU National Executive Vice President.
“I am honored and humbled by the confidence placed in me by NTEU delegates,” Reardon said.
