North East Field Rep.


Bios_Richie-Eckler
Richie has been a member of IUEC Local 4 in Boston, Massachusetts for 33 years. In March of 04', Richie joined the Helmets to Hardhats family. Being a Vietnam Veteran and an Elevator Constructor, Richie thoroughly enjoys the chance to help Veterans transition into civilian life and affording them the opportunity to enter the Building trades. He believes this is the Building and Construction Trades Department's way of thanking our military men and women. It is important to offer quality jobs for quality people who currently serve or have served our country.
