Dear Sisters and Brothers, we are having winter Union meetings this year.

Please RSVP to Tom Zidek at [email protected] if attending. The second winter Union meeting will be on Thursday March 5th at 9:00AM at the Hampton Inn 230 Dickerson RD Gaylord Michigan 49735. If attending please RSVP to [email protected]. We are looking forward to seeing as many of you that can attend. See you soon, in solidarity Tom z . We are also working on proofreading the labor agreements and hope to have that process done soon. Interlakes is looking to impliment new fitout physicals. The company has discussed with the Union adout administering fitout physicals once every 5 years. According to the Company this will be more in line with Coast Guard requirements. These physicals will be administered by Anderson Consultants. If any of you still want to get physicals yearly you can still do this with your own doctor and your healthcare insurance and it would be fully paid for and the information does not have to go the company. There will be more information coming soon. We have an issue with the Jackson that we are working on and we are getting close with the SPT for Leasing III. We also have looked into a possible fix for the unemployment issue our members are experiancing. Again we hope to see as many of you as possible at the winter meetings.
