Mr. Diana was one of the founding fathers of the MEA, and a dedicated advocate for all New York City civil servants.  Thomas Diana Sr., working with his father (Raymond E. Diana) founded the MEA in 1968.  He had a sincere commitment and passion for changing issues related to managerial pay increases, rights to dues deductions and the management pay plan. 

For more than 25 years, Mr. Diana functioned in a pivotal role for the MEA. He stepped down in August 1993, to pursue other labor activities, while MEA elected leaders continued the great work he and his father had begun.
