Brothers and Sisters,
I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather we have been having recently. It will not be long before we are in the 80-90 degree range again and complaining about the heat.
For the last three months the FSC has been on required overtime and unfortunately that will continue until the new Customer Service Advisors get out of training. I appreciate our members who are volunteering or are being forced to work this overtime in order to provide customer service. With all the work that is being moved to different parts of the country I am glad to say the FSC is getting and keeping work here.
In Southern division we have a safety rodeo scheduled for March 16th -18th. This Safety Rodeo is a joint Union/Company partnership in order to promote a safety refresher on the many dangers we face daily. There will be multiple stations set up to cover the following:
- Electrical Safety
- Ladder Handling/Pole Climbing
- Driving Safety
- Attic Safety
- Manhole Safety
- Personal Protective Equipment
As safe union workers we all need to be aware of the hazards we face and know how to correctly deal with them.
In closing, I have received a call that members are being charged with a $15.00 co pay for lab work, X-ray and other diagnostic procedures. These services are covered as stated in the Point of service memorandum of agreement. If this has happened to you please contact me at the Hall with the following information.
- Name
- Dr. Name
- Date of procedure
In Solidarity,
Danny
