From
your Negotiating Committee Hector Herrera, Kenneth Jackson, Henry Ray Edwards,
Jason Calhoun, Local Lodge President Keith Stanberry, and your chief
negotiators Grand Lodge Representative Brother James Parker and DBR Brother

The
company heard your voice today on the shop floor, and the company came back to
the table today in a different mood. Your Negotiating Committee appreciates
your support on the floor, letting management know that you demand a good
contract.
Thanks
to your loud voice, we were able to make large strides today in negotiations.
The company did come off a number of proposals, and we made a lot of progress
today.
But
time is short, and we still have a long ways to go. We are doing everything we
can to bring a good contract to you on Saturday.
On
the pension issue – continue to let your supervisor know how important our
pensions are to us. We are doing everything we can to protect your pension for
the future.
Please
continue to monitor the website for updated information concerning these
negotiations.
