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 company worked through several proposals in an effort to obtain a contract in which we could recommend. The parties have worked through a tough, but productive day and still have several issues outstanding which are important your committee, to you as our members and your families. We understand these issues and continue to negotiate the importance of coming to a resolution with these outstanding proposals. We ask you to be patient with this committee; we have proposals to resolve wage issues for our members reduced, due to scab contractors.

Please continue to volunteer for the committees requested, i.e. the 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.
