The retro pay for the recently ratified new contract will appear on folks November 22 paycheck.

Just a reminder that the union is going to be holding a Q & A session on the Green Book Tentative Agreement on Oct. 24. It will be an in person meeting this Thursday at 5:20pm in the basement of the Duluth Labor Temple. If you know anyone who still has questions about the TA, and wasn't able to attend the Oct. 9 online meeting, this is a great chance for them to get more info. We'll be meeting in Hall A. The easiest way to get there is to enter through the door of the building that faces Lake Superior. If you drive there, you can park on any side of the building.

The Negotiating Committee has reached a tentative agreement with Essentia. Copies of the TA have been mailed out to everyone in the Green Book, along with info about how to vote. You can also view an online copy of the TA at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UI4MvSFEmbkeKkJck3Nvaon_6GsAKyCY/view?usp=sharing

One of our elected Trustees has stepped down. The procedure for when that happens is anyone who wants to apply to fill out the remainder of their term (which would be for 2 and a half years) can apply, and the local union's Executive Board selects one of the candidates. If you're interested in being one of our Trustees, fill out the application linked here, and get it to our office by 5pm on Monday, Sept. 16 (you can email it to [email protected] or drop it off at Room 206 of the Duluth Labor Temple). FYI, trustees get together at least quarterly to audit our books and they also get to attend and vote at our monthly Executive Board meetings. It comes with a monthly stipend of $75.
