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 is continuing to work on Job Security language for our members and a means of working towards harnessing mandated overtime. We will continue to work towards the best agreement we can for you, but you will ultimately have the last say “your vote”. Your committee will be transitioning to our Economic proposals and will be working through the weekend. Additionally, a great hurdle was accomplished today with your committee and the company coming to an agreement to freeze our member’s wages to previous levels which were affected by the Maintenance bumping for 60 days, while the parties work through the Work Week Coverage issues.

Your committee thanks members who have stepped forward to man all the committees as requested and continue to get your name to your Executive Board or Sub Committeeman immediately. If you have not completed your application for membership, please contact your sub-committeeman immediately if you wish to attend the ratification meeting, have the right to have a voice on your future and a vote.

Several members have been texting your Committee regarding information from the table, in an effort to keep rumors down as proposals continue to change many times per day and to keep accurate information going forward as we said, we will keep you informed, but will not post proposals to keep rumors at bay.
