NEW UPDATE!
finally!
As I am sure you are all aware there have been some important
developments lately dealing with the local and the contract.
Locally, Russ Spina has decided to step down from his position as
President. As dictated by the by-laws, Council Creech has assumed
duties as the President, leaving the Vice President spot vacant.
Because less than half of the term has been completed, an election
will be held to fill the position of VP. This election will follow the
same protocols as the previous full term election. We will be
accepting nominations for this position at a meeting to be scheduled
in the near future.
Additionally, Scott Conrad has returned from
deployment and will resume his duties as Board Member at Large.
As I am sure everyone is well aware, the Company and Union have
reached a tentative agreement. AE and the TWU have finished compiling
the articles and the TA will be out for membership review in a matter
of days. There have been three documents released for membership
review. The first is a 12 page "Fact sheet" outlining the differences
between the current TA and the current contract. The second is the
full TA and the third is a compilation of the side letters. All of
these documents will be available for review by the membership so that
they can make an informed decision when it comes time to vote.
Also, as you review these documents we would like for you to write
down any questions you may have and submit them to a union rep so that
we can research them and provide you with concrete answers. We will be
scheduling station meetings, probably on or around February 24, to go
over the TA with the membership and answer these questions.
As a reminder, with all these events there will be items that will be
required to be sent to a good mailing address. Please get with a union
rep and make sure that your address is current.
