Your Utilities Bargaining committee has come to the point where there is nothing productive happening at the bargaining table at this time. We reached tentative agreements on the following issues: voluntary layoff option during a surplus, increased surplus notification, 35 mile bump, increased footwear allowance, 5 weeks vacation after 25 years, and renewal of Union time letter, but the company has rejected any other changes we have proposed. While there are still a few open issues from both sides we believe nothing further can be resolved until the core table is able to get closer on wages, benefits and other issues. Therefore the Utilities bargaining team is going home today and will be called back in when the core table achieves significant progress.

In Unity,
