I want to address two of the RSO rumors that have been floating around out there. First and foremost, the System Committee has not made any "deals" concerning the Company's initiative to reduce the Troublemen staffing level. This Committee does not cut deals. From time to time there may be Memorandum of Understandings ( IE..Bartow Repower) that are worked on between the parties, or grievance settlements that come out but I can assure you that we are strictly by the contract. Those of you that know me understand how I feel about deal cutting. I don't like it, period !
The other rumor concerns the SL Techs. The System Committee has and will maintain that the SL Tech position much be reduced before the Company can abolish Troublemen positions. This was clearly the intent during the 2002 negotiations concerning the SL Tech.
I will be happy to field any and all questions at the upcoming Union meeting. The next meeting will take place Monday, October 1, 2007, 7:30pm @ the Bear Lake Clubhouse. I look forward to seeing all of you there.
