William Lucy
International Secretary-Treasurer
AFSCME
 William
(Bill) Lucy is CBTU's first and only president since its inception
in 1972. Under his leadership, the Coalition has flourished in stature
and growth. He is also the elected International Secretary-Treasurer
of the 1.3 million-member American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and he has served in that position
continuously since 1972. He is a member of the powerful AFL-CIO
Executive Council and the first African American elected as president
of Public Services International (PSI), the world's largest labor
federation. He worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during
the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike until the civil rights leader's
assassination. He also was instrumental in the anti-apartheid movement
that eventually freed Nelson Mandela and led to the first democratic
elections in South Africa. More
