Local Lodge 2515 wins again in Arbitration Local Lodge 2515 prevailed in Arbitration in a case
where the Company (LSI) refused to pay the grievant Mr. Al Goodwin his
wife’s life insurance when she passed away.
When he filed for payment the insurance company said that she was
not covered. We took on the
Company and prevailed with a ruling that the Company was responsible and
ordered to pay the life insurance.
Brothers and Sisters, We are moving into a new year and I wanted to update you on upcoming events and what we have recently done. First, I would like to thank you for having enough trust in me in allowing me to again be your Chief Steward. I will continue to represent you to the utmost of my ability. We have elected our negotiators, David Hatcher and Dennis Rodgers, and I feel strongly they will do whatever it takes to get us a contract we can be proud of. Please contact them and DBR Bud Duryea if you have any concerns. We need to support our brothers efforts and assist them by volunteering to become a committee member. All of us need to get involved in negotiation so we may achieve our goal of a fair and just contract. I believe a continuous information flow between the negotiators and the membership is the key to our success. Bud Duryea is the approving authority for correspondence and meetings that are held by the membership involving negotiations. Any information concerning negotiations must go through Bud Duryea. Bud Duryea will support you 1000%. Elections for Stewards will be in January, I will need to get approval from the membership at the regular meeting to call out 2 of our members to act as tellers. I will forward the dates to your stewards so they may post them. We participated in arbitration on November 10, 2009 concerning a team leader position. I believe we presented our case well and we should get a ruling by the first week in January. We will conduct another arbitration concerning the Presidential declared Holiday before Christmas 2007 and after Christmas 2008 on December 10, 2009. It is very important we remain united and focus on our future goals and aspirations. I feel we have a bright future as workers on this contract. I have only heard good things about all of you. I am always very proud of all of you. We can do this together. As always any of you can contact me at any time. In Solidarity,
