Rally for United Steelworkers in Washington, DC
February 2, 2012
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Please show Solidarity for the United Steelworkers as they endure tough times and great uncertainty. The shutdown of the refineries in Philadelphia, Marcus Hook and Trainer could devastate our region. Almost 2,000 people could possibly lose their jobs. This will have a far reaching impact not only on these individuals but also on the surrounding communities. We are asking you to take time to show your support and join your voices with theirs. There will be a bus trip to Washington, DC to call on our elected leaders to intervene to stop the shutdown of these facilities.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 15 7AM – leaving from Philadelphia and Marcus Hook refineries and returning early evening the same day.

Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) and Cost of Living Allowance News
January 12, 2012
Brothers and Sisters,
The membership of UAW Local 1069 has, once again, shown their dedication to performance and commitment to excellence with the announcement of the awarding of 7 days pay for 2011 through the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP). The PIP was negotiated in 2009 by the leadership to reward the members with a program that more accurately reflected their performance and contribution to the continued success of the Ridley Park site. Since the onset of the program, 1069 members have provided with an additional 21 days of pay for their diligence.
This success shows that, no matter what the circumstances, our members perform to the highest standards in the aerospace industry as we remain the Rotorcraft Supplier of Choice. That honor is due to the individual effort by every member to overcome the daily obstacles they face as we seek to deliver our aircraft on schedule, at or under cost, and defect-free. Each day, barriers such parts shortages, discrepant vendor work, and other problems hamper our efforts, but we persevere. That commitment to excellence is demonstrated every day. As we begin 2012, we aim for an increased payout in 2013.
The payout will be distributed through a separate Direct Deposit on 2/23/12. If you do not have Direct Deposit, the check with be mailed to your home address.
Other positive money news has the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) moving up to a total of $.77 per hour since the beginning of our contract with the announcement of a 2 cent increase last Friday. Every quarter, represented members can add a little bit onto their hourly rate through COLA. Those small increases add up, as they are multipliers for overtime hours, vacation, and future contractual raises.
As your President, it has been very gratifying for me to see our members at the forefront of the charge to keep our site as one of Boeing’s best performing divisions. I am proud to serve this membership, and look forward, together, to maintaining our prosperity in the future. Thanks for all you do!
Don’t forget the General Membership Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 10 AM. We hope to see you there!
In Solidarity,
Christopher Owens, President
