AFGE LOCAL 777
E-BOARD MEMBERS

President of AFGE Local 777
Darrell English
Phone: (773) 314-3801
Previously served as Vice President at Midway International Airport for five years. My vision is to establish a working relationship that allows members to build a Brotherly and Sisterly bond that creates unity, strength and fairness in the workplace. As the local President, I know our Union local can achieve this by establishing a communication and information line for members to gather answers to daily questions and concerns. Also, by having a team of Elected and appointed members who thoroughly understand members' needs and are willing and able to achieve the needed results. As a Union local, we can create a better working environment by staying persistent and diligent in fighting for our member's rights.

Executive Vice President
Christine Vitel
Phone: (773) 314-3527
To me, the union is a group of hard working people who put honesty and integrity above everything. It is a group of people who fight for good. As the Executive Vice President, I am here for the rights, health and safety, equality, unity and solidarity for all the members. What I expect out of the union is help to protect employees from unjust dismissal through collective bargaining agreements. Representation for unfair and unjust discipline. Due process during investigations. A voice for BUES when no one is listening. And last but not least, a strong united presence and united front of Eboard and members.

I am currently stationed at Midway Airport and have been with the Union for 9 years. As the Secretary / Treasurer I will provide excellent service to our members and assist the local as needed.

Women’s & Fair Practice Coordinator
Meagan Kerr
I chose to pursue the position of women's and fair practices coordinator because I am passionate about protecting worker's rights, fighting discrimination and strengthening equal opportunity rights for AFGE members. I am dedicated to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

Vice President at O'Hare
Rick Ratliff
VP of O’Hare for A.F.G.E. local 777 as of 2023 and I have been an active member in the union since its ratification. I have seen how management operates and treats its employees, and I strive for equity and fairness with our members . My goal is to help our membership have a fair, safe and secure future with their careers at TSA.

Vice President at Milwaukee
Debra Kluewer
I became a union steward in 2013. I believe in unions because they protect the workers' rights and fight for fair wages for all. What I would like to get out of the union is the GS pay scale before I retire.
