Good evening all. 

 Unfortunately there are a few layoffs next week.  

 The oil temper and straight and cut  is going to 8 hours. There is no layoff from that change as the company is crewing up #2 oil temper line. We lose one on the base on straight and cut from 4 to 3 but we gain on in oil temp going from 20 to 21.  This will take affect week of Feb 28.

 With the above, the company is restructuring the supervisors.  There will be, or should be a posting as to who will supervise what areas.

Good evening all. 

 Well it’s wind down time for the Christmas holidays.  A lot different from what we are used to with Covid but it’s nice to have the time off. 

 To the brothers laid off, I hope this doesn’t last long and we get back to precovid times!! Keep your head up brothers! I hope you received your “registered letters” for recall, as stated in the CBA, 7.11 (c).
