UAW Local 1050 Update
7/9/21
Brothers and Sisters of Local 1050,
There hasn’t been a whole lot to update as of late until
now. It seems to work a little better by communicating updates using bullet
points rather than try and make an article flow and make sense with multiple
topics.
·
The Bargaining Committee just finished a meeting
with the company regarding the business conditions and how we are now being
affected by the public once again taking to the sky to travel. Orders from
customers are staring to quickly increase so to keep up with demand, the company
will be immediately recalling All Production that is on layoff status starting
today. There are approximately 42 still on layoff status. Also, there are 7
Electrical Apprentices still on layoff status. The company just received
approval for 5 to be recalled with the remaining 2 still waiting approval for
August 2, 2021.
·
After all the Laid off Members are contacted, the
company intends to additionally post outside for Production Trainee’s to fill
the many open spots created by retirements, resignations or terminations for the
past year. New Hires will once again be the norm going forward.
·
The company will be looking to fill the positions
of Forger Trainee by recruiting another Forger Trainee Program soon so if you
are interested, look for the posting and the opportunity to sign up.
·
We recently received a notice from the
International UAW giving Local Unions the ability to have Union Meetings and
events as long as we can do so safely. There are postings in the Plant and our
website stating that Sunday July 18, 2021, we will be having a Union Meeting at
10:30AM.
·
There has been another change at the UAW
International Executive Board as President Rory Gamble has elected to retire
along with Vice President Gerald Kariem. Ray Curry our former
Secretary-Treasurer has been named President of the UAW Intranational. Ray Curry
will be the 4th President in less than 3 years. Region 1 Director
Frank Stuglin will replace Ray Curry as the current Secretary Treasurer and
Region 1A Director Chuck Browning will be the replacement for Gerald Kariem’s
retirement as the Vice President of the UAW International.
