LANSING - Lt. Governor John D. Cherry, Jr. today issued the following statement on the passing of Frank Garrison, former president of the Michigan State AFL-CIO:

"Working people in Michigan have lost a great leader. Frank Garrison passionately believed in the labor movement. He saw organized labor as a social movement, a means to help all working men and women achieve better lives for themselves and their families. Frank was a great strategist and ally, and we fought many political and legislative battles together. But family and friends were most important to Frank, and I'm proud to have been a friend. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Dora and the rest of the Garrison family."
