NEXT STEPS TO A
FAIR CONTRACT
Negotiating
committees from Local Lodges
W349 and W475 (with
representatives from W401 on the
telephone) met with IAM staff on
Monday the 11
th
in
Memphis. Also present to help
plan strategy to go forward was
IAM Administrative Assistant Rod
Kelty. In a meeting that lasted
all afternoon, plans were made
to begin a strategy to convince
G-P and its Koch owners that
decent healthcare, wages and
other contract benefits are the
“right thing” to do. In the next
few weeks, each of you will be
asked to show your support for
each other and your union. Ever
increasing efforts will be made
to convince G-P that it should
honor its past commitments to
its employees. All members and
other employees have a lot at
stake in winning a fair
contract! Employees who are not
members of the IAM should join
and help us win a fair contract!
We have too much to lose for
some to sit back and let the
others do it all.
--THE HOLIDAYS
ARE HERE--
HAVE A SAFE AND
JOYOUS CHRISTMAS SEASON!!
With all the
turmoil brought by G-P’s layoffs
and other problems, please be
extra careful as you work,
travel and enjoy this great
season! We should all remember
our fellow members and
co-workers who are less
fortunate.
WATCH FOR
UPDATES AS WE GO FORWARD
