Training Crews
The System Committee and the Company signed off on a MOU that will provide opportunities for the apprentice lineman to participate on training crews. We are very hopeful that this will provide training in areas where it is needed most. I will be discussing the full details of the crews, how they will operate, overtime scenarios, etc.. at our next regular meeting. I look forward to seeing you there.

Material Handling Buckets
Brothers and Sisters,
It has been brought to the System Committee's attention that there are areas right now that are utilizing a material handler buckets with a lone worker. This is not approved and should cease immediately. If there are areas where this is taking place please forward that information to one of the local union officers.
The Union negotiating committee and the company are currently in discussions about this very issue. The use of material handling bucket trucks with a lone worker is prohibited by current agreements between the parties. The company has proposed to remove this prohibition with proposal M-10.
The Union is not in favor of removing that prohibition due to safety concerns.
Your System Committee and Local Union leadership appreciates your commitment to work safely.
Fraternally,
David B. Price
Business Manager LU 1412
