Earlier this month, Committeeperson Tim Eisner and Health & Safety Rep. Greg Musgrove, attended the Region 4 Health & Safety Conference at the Pat Greathouse Center in Ottawa IL.

We received the draft of our new contract from Provisur, and today, the Bargaining Committee and VP Dave Vaughn proofed the draft.  We did find a few discrepancies, which we reported to management, in turn they will verify and once corrected we can all sign off and the draft will be on it's way to the printer.  Once we get them back from the printer, we will distribute to the members.
Thanks
Joe, Tim, Les and Jeff
