The holiday season was especially bright for the ILA’s Fran Bruzek, who was singled out by the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority in December for 37 years of exemplary service to Philadelphia’s working waterfront.  Currently working mostly at PRPA’s Forest Products Center, Mr. Bruzek has done every possible cargo-moving job on the waterfront during his long (and still continuing) career, and PRPA was happy to take a moment in December to recognize and congratulate him for his efforts.  Mr. Bruzek is seen above on Wednesday, December 18 with (at left) PRPA’s David Harvey and (at right) PRPA’s Joe Menta.  Congratulations once again, Fran!
