We are hearing 2nd and 3rd step grievances.
 
We had a very successful half-day off the truck with the Gas department - organized by Fran Capozzi.
 
Many thanks to Fran Capozzi for being a dedicated Gas Mechanic as well as Safety Advocate. We hope that he enjoys retirement!
 
Keith Shorney received a Life Saving Award for saving the life of a woman trapped in a burning vehicle while on duty. Congratulations Brother Shorney!
 
The company has not reached out to the union in regards to represented employees returning to the work facilities.

We are doing quite a bit of hiring again this month. We hired 7 Plant Equipment Operators at Nine Mile; 1 last week along with 6 Radiation Protection Technicians and 3 Chemistry Technicians. In the next 2 weeks we will be hiring 16 new Security Officers. As you can tell by the recent uptick in hiring, we have seen an extremely large amount of retirements over the past couple of months.
 
We are continuing to work thru wage schedules and job specification changes from our recent negotiations so that we can send the new CBA for printing, hopefully in the very near future.
