Dear Brothers & Sisters,

The Boeing Company has informed the union leadership late Friday afternoon that they intend to outsource the AFT Pylon for the CH47. This is the first official request for proposal from the company concerning the five (5) work packages we informed the membership about in the Chopper of April 7, 2010.

We are in the process of gathering information and assembling teams to build our business case to keep that work here. There are four (4) more business cases coming after this one and we will fight to keep all of this work here. The company has made a commitment that no one will be laid off as a result if we lose any or all of our business cases.

Like always, we will keep you informed as we learn more. Do not forget to let management know how you feel about them offloading our work. I am sure they want to know!!!!

In Solidarity,

Michael T. Patterson, President

COLA

Posted by UAW Local 1069 on July 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

July 13, 2010
Dear Brothers & Sisters,

The Company recently informed the Union Leadership that they had miscalculated the COLA based on the months of December2009, January 2010, February 2010 and have overpaid us by $.04 per hour. The Company refused to step up and pay for their mistake and will recoup their $.04 per hour paid for all hours worked in March, April and May to be taken out of a lump sum in your July 29, 2010 paycheck. If you worked forty (40) hours per week for these three (3) months, the lump sum taken back would be approximately $21.00.

With all of that being said effective July 9, 2010 employees on the active payroll (including those on leaves of absence of ninety days or less) will receive a $.10 per hour Cost of Living increase.

In Solidarity,
Michael T. Patterson, President

WALK FOR THE WOUNDED & WOMEN’S COMMITTEE MEETING…GET INVOLVED!

Posted by UAW Local 1069 on May 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

I want to thank the UAW Veteran’s Committee, The Veteran’s Task Force, The United Auto Workers, Boeing and everyone involved for their hard work and generous donations for the great cause of Operation First Response Walk for the Wounded. Over $10,700.00 was collected over four days of gate collections by the UAW Veteran’s Committee and the Veteran’s Task Force. It was good to see both the Union and the Company teammates working together for a great cause. Great Job by everyone!

There will be a Women’s Committee meeting on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 3:15 at the Union Hall to see if anyone is interested in becoming a part of the Women’s Committee. Please come with new ideas or causes for the Committee to work on. Refreshments will be served so please come down and bring a friend to get involved.

In Solidarity,

Michael T. Patterson, President

Dear Brothers& Sisters,

I want to thank the entire membership for doing their part in the democratic process of our election last week. We had a very orderly and fair election and the Election Committee with Chairman Jack Connolly and Co-Chair Rich Kozlowski did their usual excellent job. I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work.Congratulations to all the winners in the election. Chris Owens our new Vice President, Bill Lucchetta, Northside Committeeman and their slate of Delegates and Alternate Delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Detroit. Below are the results of the election which have also been posted on our UAW website.On another note, there will be a gate collection by the UAW Veteran’s Committee to benefit The Walk for the Wounded which helps wounded Veteran’s and their families, with mortgage or rent, utilities, groceries, vehicle payments, transportations and emotional support when our Veteran’s have given us all they can, we must embrace our heroes and do all that we can for them and their families.
