Michael "Mike" Perry
Maryland State Representative
Michael "Mike" Perry is the State Representative of Maryland for Local 305, where he oversees all issues within the state of Maryland, while also covering those facilities in Maryland where there is no Union representation.
Mike has been a member of Local 305 for 35 years and a Union Representative for 31 years. Mike was a Chief Steward before becoming Maryland's State Representative in 2016 and still serves in that capacity whee he files grievances, if necessary, ensures safe working conditions, and deals with any other contractual issues that may arise.
Mike believes that the Union plays a big role in the USPS whether people believe it or not. The presence of Union officials in a building is a strength in itself, especially for those who never voice their opinions or have ever filed a grievance. Mike feels in many ways he can do for those people who can't do for themselves and thinks that one day he'll be able to look back and see that he has made a change in a member's life, as well as his own.
