Brothers and Sisters,

It became necessary due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the cancellation of union meetings for the membership to vote by ballot on the allocation of the wage increase due June 1, 2020. Consequently, letters and ballots were mailed to all eligible members on April 7th.

As was stated in that letter, I am notifying the membership that Proposal A received the most votes. Listed below are the wage rates and fringe benefits effective June 1, 2020.

I believe that this decision reflects a true representation of our membership.

Again, I thank you for your involvement in your local union.

Fraternally,
Alan Marzullo
