Your Bargaining Committee finished out the first week of bargaining today. Many items were thoroughly discussed including but not limited to the movement of work, holidays, vacation, pensions and the medical plans. We are working diligently to get as much clarification and information from the company on their intent and reasoning as possible. The company passed a proposal regarding the cancellation of Retiree Life Insurance.

Your Bargaining Committee met with the company for discussion over proposals and counter proposals that have been made from both sides. We are currently reviewing information that has been requested from the company. We are assessing pension and 401k data. As your Committee, we are working diligently to gather as much information as possible to combat the retrogressive proposals made by the company.
