President's Message - August 16, 2020

Members and Retirees of Local 5328

Good evening all. 

We will be resuming the monthly membership meetings on September 10, 5:00pm.  Social distancing measures will be in place as well as sanitizer and masks will be provided and must be worn. 

 Grievances are at an all time high with the changes present management are doing as well as the absurd suspensions!! I have contacted our staff rep to proceed with multiple arbitration’s as the Grievance committee are exhausted with company’s lack of respect for the workers rights!   Don’t give into them! If you have an issue, be straight to the point and cordial and if you feel the need, have a Union Steward present!! 

 Unfortunately, there are a couple more lay offs for next week. We have asked the company to start training and cross training so to minimize the lay offs, but it’s a no go. 

 Have a great and safe weekend! 

In solidarity, 

Anthony Ciaramella 
President
