Morning Update

After an all-night session, we aren't any closer. The Union proposed a health insurance plan that would save $11 Million for the Company.

They said NO!

Still on the table from the company: Only 5 days ETO every year for anyone hired after August 2008.

Downgrades for Material Handlers and Material Clerks

The company wants to force the Universal Job Codes - sheet metal and machine shop. The Union wants to continue to work on these after contract, because of the important issues involved, but the company says no.

Pension -

2009 - $2 increase
2010 - $1 increase
2011 - $1 increase

NO to IAM Pension

NO movement on Cost of Living

NO EBS Insurance

We don't know when we'll get the last, best and final offer. We'll let you know when we do.
