UAW Local 1050 Update
Brothers
and Sisters,
The
Bargaining Committee has been working on cleaning up the contract language for
our new contract. We made several passes back and forth with the company to make
sure everything was acurate. We don’t want to miss anything. We have given the
company what we believe to be the final revision. They will in turn submit it to
the printer and then give an ok to start printing after the printer provides a
proof to check off on. The company will distribute the contract books to the
membership once they get them in.
We will
be having an election for 1st shift, 2nd shift and 3rd
shift Forge Plt. Chief Stewarts. Postings with all the details will be going up
and will be posted on our website, uawlocal1050.org.
Our
Recreation Chair has resigned from the company. The Vice Chair of this
committee, by Executive Board approval has been appointed to the role of
Recreation Chair. We welcome Donshell Manuel to this role. If anyone wishes to
join the committee and lend a hand. Please reach out to Donshell. She works in
FSW(X&Y Plt.).
Also since monthly meetings were cancelled for the
summer months. Joe Tyree has been appointed as Veteran’s Committee Chair. Anyone
interested in joining this committee please reach out to Joe and welcome to him
as well. He is on 3rd shift in 120 Final.
