Attached is the phone number we were given for employees to setup their company phone to be able to receive the E.E.P.S. code for Foul Time.

Please have this set up so that you aren’t using your personal phones during Flagging or any other duty requiring Foul Time.

The FRA will again be cracking down on personal electronic devices.

Your company phone(or NEXTEL) needs to be setup before it is able to receive the Code, it is not automatic.

Freehold, N.J.) – Teamster members, union allies and supporters are protesting Shore Point Distributing’s lockout of its workers, as are Shore Point’s retail customers.

On April 30, Shore Point, Freehold, New Jersey, locked out 113 of its workers in an attempt to force them to give up their pension, accept a 3-year wage freeze, and agree to give the company permission to change their health insurance plan and co-pays at any time.

These workers are members of Teamsters Local 701 in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Local 701 had been in negotiations for a new contract with Shore Point since Feb. 28, 2017. The workers and their union wanted to continue negotiations, but Shore Point locked them out instead.

Reminder due to the Memorial day holiday all time cards for the pay period ending May 23, 2017 must me at verification/ROC by Thursday May 25th by 11:00am.

Payroll needs to be completed and submitted Friday this week.

Thanks and have a safe holiday
