Recently, in my post regarding issues of concern, I told you that we would be distributing a survey to the membership in order to discern the issues that were most important.\u00a0 That survey has been completed and the survey chair, Arlene Floren, is in the process of analyzing the results.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
As to retros and the 1% issue, you know what showed up on your check and the issue seems moot–but we will continue to seek an interest payment on the retro amount.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On July 1st and 2nd, 19 of your brothers and sisters participated in a 16- hour training that led to official certification by AFSCME as stewards for our local.\u00a0 The participants, who gained certification are: JOE GUMP (RM), MONIQUE PATTERSON (26TH), AMY THOMPSON (HTF), TIM LEEMING (LRD), BRUCE MOSBACHER (26TH), LINDA PEREZ (MKM), PERSITA WEST (MKM), RICHARD KRUSS (26TH), BEATRIZ SANTIAGO (26TH), KEVIN OCHALLA (26TH), ARLENE FLOREN (CIV), STEVE DOHR (CIV), KRISTINA MENZEL (JJD), LARRY KUGLER (RM), GEORGEEN CARSON (SK), MARTHA FITZSIMMONS (MDD), MICHELLE THOMAS (FSU), AMBER MILLER (1ST MUNI) and lastly, your president, K. S. GALHOTRA (HTF).\u00a0 Both new and old stewards learned tips, techniques and tools to better represent our members.<\/p>\n
Two of our three annual union sponsored social events will\u00a0be taking place this month and the next.\u00a0 On July 24, 2008, we will be enjoying a day of golf, food and drink at Eaglewood Resort in Itasca. This was the same place as last year, but we are hoping the weather will be a bit different this year.\u00a0 Please call George Grezca (HTF) at x5072\u00a0if you have not signed up for a foursome or want more information. Click here\u00a0<\/a>for information on the resort.The annual boat cruise is shipwrecked again — at Castaways\u00a0on North Avenue Beach.\u00a0 The party will be held on August 22, 2008 (a Friday night) and will include food and drink similar to last year.\u00a0 More information will be posted on the website so stay tuned —\u00a0 or call Amy Thompson at x6929.<\/p>\n The local’s petition and complaint in the Chancery division continues and is next scheduled before Judge Riley on July 21, 2008.<\/p>\n So that’s\u00a0what’s going on this summer ….
