Vice President:

Dale and I presented 11 grievances at the GRB this week. Most of them related to field trips, and we also had a few terminations. 

We continue to work on the backlog of grievances and have settled or withdrawn almost half.

The 4th of July is next Tuesday. Have fun and be safe!

Tracy Hardin:

We have mentioned this to many members, and I must emphasize. As a new higher or a person with low seniority and family that works here with years of seniority, concentrate on your career and not on your family members habits. They have a different relationship with their team, leadership, and co-workers. What works for them may not work for you. So follow the rules and blaze your own path.

TWU514 is co-sponsoring a donation drive to benefit the Child Abuse Network (CAN). Through the month of July we will be collecting items to benefit kids in abusive situations. Some of the items in need are:

• • New Stuffed Animals
  • New Blankets – all gender and ages 0-17
  • Disposable face mask (adult and child size)
  • Disinfectant wipes and sprays
  • Hand sanitizer and soap

There will be a drop box in the lobby of the union hall also at different locations around the base.

Don’t forget there will be a free airshow at Tinker Air Force Base on July 1 & 2. For more information and schedule of performances  log onto www.tinker.af.mil. 

For any questions or concerns, contact Tracy Hardin
