position, and then to the Chief Delegate of his command in 2005, until elected to that
position in 2006. In the 2008��election, Joseph ran for and was elected Grievance Chairman.
After a short time on the board, Joseph ran for and was elected President of the association
in the 2011��election.
Joseph has been honored with numerous awards for his hard work and dedication throughout
his 28��year career.
Despite the never ending and tiring challenges of having to battle with the MTA in efforts to
provide a better quality of life for his members, Joseph has, throughout his tenure as President
of the association, remained available to his membership 24��hours a day without faltering
or wavering, hence why he has run unopposed for 2��of his 3��terms as the President of the
Bridge and Tunnel Offi cers Benevolent Association.
