BARGAINING REPORT #9
December 16, 2004

Talks continued today on two primary issues, overtime and titles.  Your union bargaining committee is well aware of the importance of these issues to you so they are spending a substantial amount of time on them at the table.  FIOS has been another subject the committee is working on and it was also discussed at the table today. 

The committee wants to thank you for your continued support during these negotiations and wants you to know they are working hard to bring in a fair and just contract.

In Solidarity,

James Dudley
