Brothers and Sisters,
APRIL IS HERE which means SUMMER is just around the corner!
Last month I reported that a safety rodeo was planned for Southern division. Well the rodeo went off without a “hitch”. No one was – “bucked” out of their vehicle or “roped” into working unsafe.
Each station had a member of our union safety committee as well as a supervisor. All of the feedback I have received has been very positive. Any member who had faulty equipment was either given new equipment that day or it has been ordered. I would like to thank the following members for their help at their respective station.
PPE- Doug Blackburn, Billy Flick, Greg Flick,
John Keiper, Stephen Kinlaw
Ladder/Pole Safety- Mike Kinlaw, John Riddlebarger
Manhole Safety- JC Jurnigan
Attic Safety- Noah Kaaa
Grill Team- Alan Gaver, Nettie Hamacek, Josh Salidino
I would also like to thank Mark Hoke, Kevin Cantero and everyone in management who helped out. This was truly a joint effort.
Also in southern division I would like to welcome our newest stewards. Josh Saladino who has been a steward for seven years is now the chief steward for Sarasota. Chris Emrich and Fred Lauper have also accepted steward’s positions in Sarasota. In circuit repair for Sarasota CB Roberts has become a steward as well. Congratulations, I look forward to working with each of you and I know you will serve our members well.
In the Fsc this past month there were issues with members not having any consecutive lay days for the entire month. With the help of Paul White, Perry Sidlinger and Patrick Miller we were able to resolve this issue. The upcoming schedule has each member getting 2 consecutive lay days 2 out of the 4 weeks. Good job!
In Solidarity,
Danny
