Job Site Postings

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It has come to my attention that several individuals have taken it upon themselves to act in an immature fashion by defacing ratification notices posted on the job sites.  Let's all be adults and refrain from these childish acts of vandalism.

Fraternally,

Michael P. Hough

With ongoing contract negotiations with Securitas you will be responsible for collecting different ideas from the bargaining members at TRAPAC, consolidating those ideas, and presenting them to SPFPA for negotiations. This committee requires time commitment and dedication in advocating for fellow officers. Currently there are two vacancies on the committee. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Steve Mitchell to enroll or ask questions at (310)717-3821

A Bit Confusing

Please make sure to check to see if the ratification notice is for your terminal before you leave to go vote. Local 100 has several ratifications being scheduled during this month and it can be confusing at times so make sure that you make sure you go to the right one.

Only those Members who actually work at a given site are allowed to vote on that site's CBA.

See you there.

If you have any questions concerning the constitutionality of these events please feel free to contact your Local President Steven Mitchell at (310) 717-3821 or vial email at music.of.all.kind@hotmail.com.
