Feb 7 - 2:45 p.m. - 
        The company and Local Union has scheduled a meeting Monday Feb 12, 2018 to start negotiations after the recent contract rejection.  The concerns of the membership that was voiced Saturday will be on the table at the negotiations.
 
       There has been some of the management personnel that has been polling our membership concerning the contract ratification vote. If you are being asked anything about Saturday’s Local Union meeting, please contact any of the E-Board or the President with the person’s name and time this event occurred. 
​       All of our Local Union Meetings are a private meeting, and anything that is said or done at any of these meetings is to be kept confidential.  Our meetings are only accessible to dues paying members.

 
       As with every contract negotiations/strike, there is going to be rumors.  We ask our membership not participate in starting/spreading any of these rumors.
If you have any questions, please contact any of the Local Union Executive Board officers.
The Executive Board will strive to keep everyone informed as much as possible.
 
       Yesterday, Feb 6, the Union signed an agreement with the company to continue to work under the old contract while negotiations continue.
Also, included in this agreement is the LEGAL requirement that the Local Union or the company will have to give the other a 7 day notice of ceasing of negotiations or a strike.
 
            We will be posting notices here and at the plant of the next ratification vote, when or if, there is one.
