On behalf of the board I’m pleased to announce the negotiations have completed and been signed off. We’re currently working hard to get the proposed language changes ready for the vote on Saturday.
We will do our best to have said changes loaded on this page and the union website by 7pm. The website address is ibewlocal2356.org
For any members dealing with Covid it is extremely important that you direct message me so that we can try to accommodate you. Those members if any need to be prepared to vote early before everyone else so we can insure the safety of everyone.
Look forward to presenting the new proposed changes Saturday.
Meeting for the explanation of changes will start at 8 am sharp.
Polls will open at 9:00 and close upon a motion from the floor assuming people present have had the opportunity to get in line to vote. So it’s extremely important everyone be there on time to insure this goes smoothly. All members are encouraged to stay local to the school in the event that there is a second vote needed.

President
