Tentative Plan for Representation of 028

I respect all of you for getting involved in the history changing times that we are going through. I felt that I ought to give you the following which is my tentative plan for going forward.

• Meet with Steve Keil, from Labor Relations, this Friday (7/23/2010) to get the issues with ‘Showing of Interest …’ resolved.

• Get the thirty percent of Representation Unit 028 to sign the 'Showing of Interest ...' to give us the go ahead to proceed.

• If we get the go ahead, have the first meeting where we will elect the committee to determine what 028 does in getting represented.

• Then when the committee has decided what 028 employees want, we will petition Labor Relations between December 1st and December 20th, 2010 to form a Recognized Employee Organization (REO).

• At this point we will have a vote to see if Representation Unit 028 agrees with what the committee has determined to be the course that 028 takes.

• Then if 028 employees agree with what the committee had decided, we will start the long process of getting organized for the new employment contacts which will take place before July 2011.
