President’s Update 02-15-21

The plant blew a cap off of our steam header late Friday night Saturday morning. This caused the plant to go dark and loss of the boilers. The header was repaired and we where able to get a boiler operational for heat reasons. At this time we are producing in one plant. I have been told the mine will be idled till Wednesday but that could change. If anyone that showed up for there shift that had not been notified does not receive show up pay for that day please let a steward know. I will pass any information I get on to the membership.

President’s Update 11-02-20

Today the Eboard received a formal albeit verbal request from the company to freeze our next years pay raise. At this point we have more questions than answers. We are supposed to be getting some information from the company by weeks end. I assure you that the information will be brought to the membership, and then the membership will decide the path forward. I’m not sure when meetings will take place, look for postings. The regular union meeting is Thursday the 19th.
