Craft Meeting
by: Avral Thompson
As you know we have
been having quarterly meetings for carhaul members. For the ones of you
who have attended you are aware that we use these meetings as a way for
drivers, mechanics, yard employees, and me to discuss issues that
generally affect us all. I give reports on the recent panels decisions
and upcoming meetings. I need you to give ideas on how we can better
operate as members and as a union. I would like to thank all who have
attended in the past and that all try to attend in the future.
T.S.I. Bowling Green
by: Avral Thompson
I had reported
in the earlier issues that G.M. had marked eight Teamster locations to
be put up for bid, one being our location in Bowling Green. At this
location we have five members on the yard seniority list. I have
recently been notified by T.S.I. management that only one location was
lost and T.S.I. had secured the work in Bowling Green keeping good
Teamsters jobs.
