In an effort to better communicate information as quickly as possible to the Local 60 Membership, here is the ” HOT TOPICS” for this week.
A) June 1 starts GAS MILEAGE AMNESTY,please use the “pink gas mile sheets only”. Please list all missing or unpaid gas miles and tolls. The open period to submit will run until July 15. You are allowed to submit any partial or missing miles/tolls from January 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018.
B) There will be a Local 60 Union meeting this Sunday 10AM at the Linden VFW.
C) I was with CTP Class 18-01 at Ferry street, along with Ron Sabol NJSLD and LCA Officer Scott Spratt. The entire class joined the SMART ARMY and posed for this picture in their new T-shirts. I welcome them to our Local 60 family!
D) I attended a SLEEP APNEA meeting with the Carrier in trying to streamline the entire process. I am pushing for an updated policy that is not a financial burden on our Members. I hope to have more news in the coming weeks.
E) Passenger crews will see Mobile Validation Device Team Members working on your trains. The Team Members are testing a new type of phone that will be able to validate train tickets via scanners. I wish to thank the MVD Team Members for their effort.
Please email me feedback or suggestions, I am here for you the Members. sburkert@utulocal60.com
Fraternally,
