The following statement may be attributed to Héctor Figueroa, President of 32BJ SEIU:

“Our 32BJ brothers and sisters are deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of our brother Larry Hanley, who has for decades been a stalwart comrade in arms in labor and social struggles. We will sorely miss the righteous passion and clear-eyed thinking he brought to decades of attacks on working people, and his ability to bring together people across sectors necessary to bring about positive change. We offer our condolences to his loved ones and to his ATU family, and will carry his example forward to continue his work to make a better world for working families.”

With nearly 175,000 members in eleven states and Washington, D.C., 32BJ SEIU is the largest property service workers union in the country
