Update from the President

Frankie Cocanour

Out of the Office – Family Emergency

GMM:

We had a much bigger action for the Board last week as it was needed for the layoffs, and that shifted us from actions for the 10/4 meeting. No GMMs today due to that and Bargaining will have better updates after Friday’s meeting.

Look for an updated schedule that adjusts for more communication immediately following Bargaining Meetings.

If you can, attend Friday’s session in person, if not via Zoom, but try to stick around after to have some conversation on what took place during the session.

Contact colinlccef@gmail.com to get involved in the membership chat during the meeting!
