Charles “Chuddy” Whelan, the assistant business manager of UA Local 9, was appointed to an unexpired term on the Hamilton Township Council.

Brother Whelan's selection on Jan. 21, 2020, brings to 1,085 the number of union member election victories, and the New Jersey State AFL-CIO congratulates him and thanks him for his civic-mindedness.

Under state law, Whelan must stand for election in November 2020 to complete the term.
