GC Burkert contacted me and as he is currently unavailable traveling from meetings, asked me to post a message concerning the Papal Visit this weekend. He has reached an agreement with the carrier for Atlantic City line service and what will be required of crews. In addition, compensation for all regular Atlantic City crews affected by assignment changes, and all Newark division extra board employees. All employees who are available will receive an additional hour straight time pay for each day Saturday and Sunday. Employees who wish to receive the additional pay must be available that day Saturday and Sunday, and not use sick, personal, optional, hold down or vacation days. He has had conversations with management and will personally ensure what was agreed upon is fulfilled. Details on service and time cards will follow

I encourage all members to work their entire assignment this week during the time that the Pope is visiting our area. This is not the time to schedule any doctor visits or to use extra time for personal business. We at Local 60 are in a crucial time in contract negotiations and we certainly don’t want any negative press. Please do not listen to gossip in the locker rooms, it is absolutely against the law for any unauthorized activities that could be deemed a job action by the Carrier. I would prefer that all members contact the crew callers and make themselves available during their rest days, there will be an abundance of extra work.

Fraternally,

Stephen J, Burkert

General Chairman
