My sympathy to the Chico family. I met John through union activity at local 65 and campaigned for him when he ran as a delegate for Illinois Constitutional Convention in 1970.
Throughout his years of work at US Steel South Works, John was one of the foremost leaders of Mexican-American steelworkers. His leadership culminated in his election as President of local 65 of the USWA in 1976.
John recognized the importance of labor unions for improving the lives of working people regardless of their race or nationality.
May he rest in peace.
