Tentative Agreement
Members, the tentative agreement will be voted on by you in the near future for ratification. I am working on getting all of the figures and variations in one cohesive format. It will be coming out as soon as possible. I hope to have a special meeting set up soon to go through the entire proposal. It will take a few days so please be patient. The proposal is for longer term than the PEB recommendations, with the general wage increases rising accordingly. I want to thank you all for an outstanding job during a very stressful period.

Strike Assignments
If you are not contacted by a strike captain by Saturday please contact Scott Spratt 973-223-8654 or Rob Milan at 973-223-6496 If unable to reach someone report to a location (ask a coworker) and have the captain at that site contact us.
Strike Warning
This is in reference to the letter today from Lavell,threatening you, while we are still trying to settle a 5 year old contract.
IF, we elect to go on strike anyone choosing to report to Ferry street or any other location will be considered a “strike breaker or scab”.
There is a $1000.00 dollar fine per day. Any money the Carrier compensates you will also be fined at triple the rate. If you earn a $100.00 ,the local will then fine you $300.00. You will also be brought up on charges by the local and if found to have worked while we were on strike you will be expelled from the local and lose your employment.
The covers every member from #1 on the roster to the ACTP classes, you are all to report to the locations that you were given, if needed.
