Meeting

Updated On: May 05, 2008 (21:58:00)


We have had two meetings over the past week to discuss the upcoming negotiations.  We will be holding another important meeting this coming Saturday - May 10th at 9:30 am at our union office in Norwood.  You will be asked to vote for the remaining two bargaining committee members.  A few individuals have already expressed interest in being part of this committee and if you too want to participate, please either come to the meeting or if you are unable to attend, send any one of us a note to the effect that you would accept election to the committee.  Negotiations are presently scheduled to begin on the 21st and 22nd of May.

Dues Increase

Updated On: Apr 03, 2008 (13:39:00)
At the  Local Union meeting held on January 15th, a proposed amendment change was discussed and voted on according to the rules of our By-Laws. The final vote was in favor of increasing the working dues from the current 1.35% to a new amount of 1.55% of gross straight time wages. The last time that this local had an increase in working dues was around 1978 - thirty years ago. This increase has been approved by the President Ed Hill of the IBEW and  will take effect on May 1, 2008.
