Good evening all. 

 The negotiating committee will begin preparations next week. We will be off but available for emergencies. 

All but 3 grievances have been settled. We have reserved the right to arbitrate these grievances. One termination grievance is scheduled for arbitration. Those that have filed grievances, will be notified by one of the grievance committee members on the status of their grievance once the final document is signed. Should be on Monday.

Good evening all. 

The company and Union are in the process of a negotiations protocol, where, when, and  how. 

We should finalize details next week. Negotiation surveys are being handed out and are also attached here below. Please do not send it back through email. Print it off, if you didn’t get a hard copy, and hand a copy to one of the Chief Stewards or myself. We will collect them over the next few weeks so please fill it out and give your negotiating team some direction.

Good evening all. 

 The Local has forwarded the company “notice to bargain”. We are waiting for the company to reply to set up a meeting to agree to a date and protocol. 

 With that being said, the negotiating committee will be handing out a survey, or wish list, of what you would like in the next set of negotiations. Once you receive the survey, please fill it out, number each area by importance, and return it to one of us on the negotiating committee.

He took the job very seriously  and had our best interest in mind. He  wore his heart on his sleeve! Thank you for the service you provided to our local and our members.

Good evening all. 

 A reminder, the Locals Union elections will be held at the plant front entrance on April 6 and 7 at all shift changes. All members vote for all positions. 

Social distancing measures will be in place as well as sanitizer and individual pens. 

 In business news the company has taken an increase in orders for this month and next. Not sure how long after it will last? It is great news but we still lack the training that was promised!
