New Executive Director of the Benefit Funds

We are pleased to announce the appointment of James “Ryk” Tierney as the new Executive Director of the Benefit Funds. Ryk started as the Executive Director on April 29, 2013.

The Benefit Fund Trustees launched a comprehensive, nationwide search for a new permanent Executive Director in August 2012 to find the candidate whose qualifications could best fulfill the charge to lead the Funds. They were assisted in our search by Heidrick & Struggles, a global executive search firm.

In July 2012, we reported that the Board of Trustees terminated Mr. Joesph Epstein as Executive Director of the Benefit Funds.

After a rigorous application and interview process, Mr. Tierney accepted the offer to serve as the Funds’ next Executive Director.

Ryk Tierney is currently a Vice President and Director of Accounts at Associated Administrators, LLP, a benefits administration firm, and he is responsible for the administration of numerous benefit funds in a variety of unionized industries. He brings to the Funds an impressive combination of Talt-Hartley fund leadership and an in-depth knowledge of issues ofconcern to all ofthe Funds’ constituents, including the Funds’ participants, Fund Office employees, the District Council, and Contributing Employers. Ryk has been designated as a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist ("CEBS”) by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, and he teaches CEBS courses. From 1983 to 1990, Ryk served in the United States Army. Ryk will be relocating from Maryland, and, as a native of New Jersey, he is delighted to be moving to New York.

Please join us in assisting Ryk with the new challenges and opportunities ahead. There will be numerous opportunities in the next several weeks to meet Ryk and welcome him aboard.

  4. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
