Subject: IAM&AW/WYMAN GORDON Update
Your elected contract negotiating team, Keith Stanberry, Ector Ruiz, Jason Calhoun, Able Nuncio, Local Lodge 15 President Byron Williams and your chief negotiators, Grand Lodge Representatives Brothers Dave Porter and Tony Blevins met for negotiations again today with Wyman Gordon.
Your committee and the IAM Pension Department did a conference call with PowerPoint presentation regarding proposed pension. Our Pension department showed this company where they could have saved approximately 60 million dollars while giving you a better benefit. Although this was a very good presentation, the day has ended on a very sour note on what your committee views as REGRESSIVE bargaining and your committee has adjourned for the day and will reconvene tomorrow. It is the position of your committee, the company corporate representatives who appear to driving the company at the table are continuing to bargain in bad faith and we will not stand for it! Your President respectfully requests our members to contact your elected Local Lodge Executive Board members for the following committee duties and volunteer roster.
Five volunteers are needed for each of the following committees, Picket, Hardship, Kitchen, Transportation, Employment and other various committees which will be needed, should you decide to take an action on August 14, 2011.
We are asking for our members support throughout these negotiations and also encourage you to make contact with your sub-committeemen with any issues or questions regarding negotiations. For information, please check your Local Lodge No.15 web site for future updates. Additionally, updates will be forthcoming as negotiations move forward, please sign up with your email account to follow automatic updates as they become available.
