Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Our Veteran’s Committee is currently working with the Boeing Veterans Engagement Team (BVET) to raise awareness for Remember Everyone Deployed (R.E.D.) Friday’s. Our goal is to raise approximately $3000 to be split between the Michael Strange Foundation and Walk for the Wounded. Red shirts are still available for purchase to help us achieve this objective. To help meet this target, there are two (2) more sales events scheduled. The dates will be Tuesday, July 12, 2022, from 11 AM – 12 PM in the 3-92 café and Wednesday, July 13, 2022, from 11 AM – 12 PM in the 3-57 café. Many thanks to our BVET, especially our UAW Veteran’s Committee Chairman, Gary Stein.
We soon will be taking orders and distributing T-Shirts, free-of-charge to ALL UAW Local 1069 members in support of our upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations. We will post on our website (uawlocal1069.org) and have forms available for our Sisters and Brothers to submit regarding shirt sizes. Stay tuned.
Lastly, there will be a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for this quarter in the amount of $0.51 effective July 8, 2022. The current maximum COLA amount for this unit is $2.64.
We wish to thank and recognize our UAW Brother (Janitor), Clayton Zuber. Early Wednesday morning there was an emergency situation in our Fitness Center. The A/C unit located in the ceiling above malfunctioned, which led to flooding in the “studio” room and in the “cardio” location. There was a considerable amount of water on the floors of these areas and the ceiling above was falling creating an injury risk for any employee using these areas. When notified, Clayton stopped his daily tasks/run to quickly come over and diligently worked to remedy this hazardous condition. The fitness center is normally cleaned and maintained by “outside” contractors. This is yet another example why we need more UAW employees added to our Labor Pool and UAW Local 1069 employees ready and available to perform these types of tasks.
Countdown To Contract: 91 Days

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Congratulations to Vince Marvel, Pattern Maker “A”, North Side. Vince is our new North Side Committeeman, serving our members in Buildings 3-06 and 3-07. He was elected by way of being the sole candidate for this position. We thank Vince for his dedicated service working for our members as a Shop Steward for the past eight years. We are confident he will continue his efforts and will make great contributions during our upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations.

Vince, along with the rest of the Bargaining Committee would like to thank all of our Sisters and Brothers for their continued support.
In addition, our Communications Committee along with the help from our Women’s Committee hosted our “10th Annual Golf Outing” on May 20, 2022. This event proved to be another success. Total funds donated to this great event toped $4,000.00. All proceeds raised will be presented to “Operation First Response.” We wish to thank the many sponsors who contributed and many thanks to all who participated. Special thanks go out to the following members who worked hard to put this together and continued working hard during this event: Jason Bonacquisti, Matt Rogers, Brian Stief, Mike Tolassi, Anthony Fenza, Ally Hold, Adrianne Cruz, Kelly Kerrigan, and Michelle D’Avella. Please look for our upcoming events in the future.
Lastly, your Bargaining Committee continues to work on many proposals in preparation for our upcoming CBA negotiations with The Company this August. We surely will keep our membership informed of all developments along the way.
