Hello brothers and sisters of Local 31. My name is Thomas Ponds II and I am one of the three Trustees on our E-Board. I hired In permanently here at Fairfax in September of 1999 where I started in Body Shop. In 2008 I moved on to chassis where I became team leader, then in 2017 I relocated to Paint department 1st shift where I am currently. I've had the honor of serving you as a Alternate Committeeman In Chassis from 2012-2014, I was a member of our VCAP Committee from 2014-2019, and I'm extremely excited to serve you in this capacity!
