Your negotiating committee has been working on your behalf to make the company and the legal system understand the value you bring to this company. In doing so, we have enlisted many experts, i.e. Bankruptcy and Labor Attorneys, economists, Health Insurance specialists, etc.As you know, the Local 514 membership has a large stake in the outcome of these bankruptcy proceedings. While your Local 514 officers who serve on the negotiating committee have been at the table with the company, we have drawn upon resources from within the Local.
These members have gathered information and accomplished research which has been invaluable to drafting counter-proposals to the company. Of the several members and officers we have asked to step up and help, not a single one has refused, nor have they complained about the long hours needed to complete the assigned tasks.
In these times of so much uncertainty it is good to know that we have members willing to help in this process.
In Solidarity,
Sam Cirri
Local 514 President
