Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan, former President of AFSCME Local 965 and former President of the Northwest Arkansas Labor Council, was honored yesterday for his career of service to working families and the community.
Jordan served as President of the Northwest Arkansas Labor Council from 2006-2008 but resigned after he took office as Mayor in January 2009, following his policy of serving only on boards of organizations that are covered by the Arkansas Freedom of information Act. He served as President of AFSCME Local 965 from 2000-2006 until he was promoted to a management position and was precluded from holding that office by the by-laws of the local union.
After addressing the Northwest Arkansas Labor Council yesterday, Mayor Jordan signed a new union card to rejoin AFSCME Local 965, the first Fayetteville city employee to do so this year.
