AUGUST  1  2010

As of August 1^st there will be charges filed on any member who reports to work without proper ID, rubber boots, tools to do their job or anything in violation of our Master Labor Agreement or Code of Conduct.

Our Contractors are having a hard enough time getting the jobs, given the way the economy is. We need to be more professional when dispatched out of the Hall and do the best quality of work we can, so, down the road our Contractors will be awarded more jobs, to keep us working.

The NEW CONTRACTORS we have just signed all have these concerns and whether or not we have members who can pass a drug test. It only takes one or two of us that can’t pass a test (or won't take a test), who don’t have proper ID,  all of the necessary tools, or show up late to make the whole Union look bad.

Don’t get me wrong the majority of our members are professionals who take their job seriously and are a great benefit to our Union. These hard times require that we all become a Teacher, and a Mentor.  We need to Build a Stronger Union now and for the Future.

            The Union is Our Future lets Keep it Strong

Work hard and Stay Safe

Remember to call the Hall BEFORE you call the unemployment office.  This will keep you from being denied.. Remember to check in once a week or every 9 days...that includes Saturday and Sunday...If you do not check in your name will be removed from the out of work list.  If we leave two messages your name comes off the list.

When dispatched out to a job you MUST show up on time, that means at least one half hour early from starting time.  If two hours is not enough time let me know & I will try to give you more time. Please don't take a Dispatch  if You Can't Do That Job!!!  It makes the whole Union look bad. Make sure you have the tools that are required of you to have. Thank You

    STAY SAFE
