Important Information
October 19, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Beginning 10/15/16 represented employees may file a request to transfer to another shift within their job classification and within the Center which they work (CBA Article 8, Section 20). The period for filling a “shift preference” request will be from October 15, 2016 through October 30, 2016. Please file your request electronically so you will have electronic documentation you have completed this for your records. Any employee needing assistance filing a request, please contact your union representative and or Employee Relations. Deadline to file a request is October 30, 2016.
A reminder to any employee affected by the surplus that will take effect October 21, 2016 and who will not be eligible to “bump” into the Labor Pool, we will hold “Rapid Response” sessions on Thursday, October 20, 2016. We will be holding two (2) sessions, session one at 1:30pm and session 2 at 3:30pm. These sessions will take place in Bld. 3-61 in the Chinook PER Room. It will be facilitated by Matt Rogers (EI Facilitator). All affected employees please plan to attend. We will have representatives attending from PA State Labor, Unemployment, Career Link, and United Way. Additional and valuable information will be shared at these sessions.
Our UAW Leadership would like to recognize and give many thanks to Greg Fagan, Keith Wachter, and Scott Dorrin for continuing Bill Coskey’s (deceased UAW, V-22 Brother) cause for his yearly tradition of raising money for needy families in our community. This past Friday a fundraiser was held at Monaghan’s Pub for this cause. We are proud to inform our members that $2016.00 was raised during this event. We also thank Monaghan’s Pub for hosting this event and all who attended making this a success, and especially our guest bartender, Ron Duranto (Composite Fabricator). Additional fundraisers will be held throughout the year for our needy families in our communities.
Yours in solidarity,
Mike Tolassi, President

IAM HALL

ESSINGTON, PA 19029
September 29, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Your Executive Board and Bargaining Committee and has made the decision to hold our General Membership meeting Sunday, October 9, 2016, 10: AM. We have made this decision due to The Company’s “intent” to move forward with a surplus scheduled for October 21, 2016 and would like to hold our meeting prior to this date. We are unable to hold our meeting at our hall due to our on-going renovations of the main hall and lobby which we look forward to completion in a few weeks. Please take note of the location of our meeting:
IAM Hall
251 Jansen Ave
Essington, Pa., 19029
Please be sure to attend as we have many topics to discuss and we are sure many of you have many questions concerning what is happening within the company.
Also please take note that due to our meeting being held on October 9, 2016 there will not be a General Membership meeting on the 4th Sunday of October which was scheduled for October 23, 2016.
Reminder, effective October 7, 2016, any employee at or below the rate range maximum or Single Rate in effect for their classification will have their base rates increased by application of a two (2%) percent GWI. An employee cannot exceed the maximum of their rate range or Single Rate upon application of a GWI and if applicable, will receive the remaining amount of the GWI in a lump sum payment. In addition, effective October 7, 2016 employees will receive a Cost-of -Living-Adjustment (COLA) of three (3) cents.
Yours in solidarity,
Mike Tolassi, President
