Local 567 Members,
First off, let me let me emphasize this; The Union has continually requested meeting dates with the company including Thanksgiving week and as of today the only date booked is the week of December 11th., I agree with the Membership that this is totally unacceptable and remain firm that additional dates must be agreed to! As stated in this week’s update I will be attending meetings at HDQ next week beginning November 13th to finalize the Leave of Absence Matrix.
Last week’s agreement to continue the ASAP program and discussions that took place on the Letters of Agreement, Union Security, MLS Qualifications, Filling of Vacancies and Overtime Procedures move us closer to the Economic issues.
