Hello, my name is Tom Gorham, and I’m the Shop Steward for the Local 40 Ironworkers at 60 Wall St.

I am starting this campaign on behalf of one of our men, Roberto Peralta, who was badly injured on the job…

Roberto’s left hand was badly crushed by a piece of steel. He has been through a four-hour surgery so far to repair the extensive damage and will likely have to go through at least one more. He will not be able to work during this difficult period of recovery and further treatments. And as of this time, his worker’s compensation has still not kicked in.

Roberto is a hard-working brother and a good guy. He’s been with us on the project for over 6 months. I hope that some of you are able to help him out with whatever you can spare during this difficult time for him and his family. Thank you in advance!
