STANDING with
Steve Evans:
Battling Blood
Cancer
by James Delhauer
A core belief at the heart of the labor
movement is that we are stronger together
than we are apart;
that what would be impossible for one
to accomplish alone becomes possible through the collective. We have
a responsibility to look out for and take care of one another, secure in the
knowledge that when it is our time of need, our brothers and sisters in the
union will be there for us. Now is such a time when one of our own needs our
help. In July of last year, brother Steve Evans, a boom operator with more than
thirty years of service within Local 695, was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic
Syndrome, a rare form of cancer that targets the bone marrow and causes
blood cells to become abnormal. This is a call for help to all 695 members and
to anyone else who might be reading.
