Old Business
-FOCUS Neighborhood Table. Served chicken chop suey and garlic carrots, fruit cup. Not many volunteers. Need to get more info out.
-Retirement Gift:
“From this day forward a retirement gift will be awarded to union members in good standing as $25 for each of the company’s years of service, with a requirement of 10 years of service, and will need to be 55 years of age or older. It will be classified as a gift in treasurer’s books. If a member opts out and then choses to rejoin, years of service restarts when a new union card is signed.”
Discussion: are we getting this information out? It is on the website, and if we print it, the company will get in our business.
-Would be cool to give WOS stickers to the softball girls for their hard hats
New Business
-Vote on Donating $1,000 to Rapids Redhawks. Gives us two years of sponsorship. Plates on the field. Advertisements of Sponsors. Janicki motion to donate $1000 to Rapids Redhawks. Carlson second. Motion carried.
-Vote on Donating $1,000 to Best Christmas Ever. Trustee Beckman motion to donate $1000 to Best Christmas Ever. Carlson Second. Motion carried.
-Discussion on OT in the wood yard. Does the OT accrue after 40 hours for the work week? Matt Kundinger called Scott Morrison. Days off should be OT, over 8 hours should be OT, holidays count toward the 40 hours now too. Vice-President Vitello will clarify with Scott Morrison.
-have a discussion on how mill is utilizing staff for relief. PMS does not relieve rewinders (different departments), but is having an employee from PMS train to relieve rewinder. How will a 12-hour worker relieve an 8-hour work week. They wanted to pull the rewinder into PMS, but it is a day job. Is rewinder part of shipping? Why can’t they build up the rewinder department. Potential for a second person working in tandem during the day shift. Would definitely be safer. Issues with scheduling if a 12-hour worker relieves an 8-hour worker.
Good and Welfare
Carlson and Beckman.
