On April 20th, APL dropped by the Local 63 Business Office to show their appreciation for the work of the Marine Clerks. They were especially appreciative of our work keeping cargo moving during the pandemic. As a token of appreciation, they dropped off a small replica of the APL President Kennedy, which fits nicely in the Local 63 Executive Board Room.
