NEWS FROM TONY:
Brothers and sisters,
02/04/10 As you are aware the present labor Contract will be expiring on
July 1, of 2011. I am anticipating Local Issue negotiations to begin sometime in early December of this year.
Therefore I am posting a Local Issue Form on our website. This form can be completed online and sent to me
"email version" or it can be printed
"print version" and filled out and turned
in to your Zone Griever ( Dean Banger: Zone 1 - Chip Hoobler: Zone 2 ) All forms must have your name on the completed
form. This will enable us to contact you if further information is needed. It is never too early to start to compile
our list since most issues do not occur frequently. I would encourage you to start using the forms ASAP.
01/06/10 We are changing the Monthly Meeting time back to our original time of 4:00pm. This time change will start with our January 21st. meeting.

To all Midland Melt Shop Members,
You are to be congratulated for your efforts in getting the Melt Shop back up and running as planned, despite being down for over 14 months. For the first time since 10/08, our Melt Shop successfully and safely melted metal on 12/7/09. As expected, the start-up was not without its snags, but our co-workers and the salary team successfully worked together through several issues, including a scale problem and problems with the AOD pit, the cutoff torch, and the hydraulic system at the Caster. I would personally like to say thank you to everyone involved
Keep up the great work and stay safe. Tony

I am informing you of our temporary move from the Union Hall 617 Midland Ave. To 703 Midland Ave. The move will take place starting next week and ending on October 1. I am sure that there will be a few inconveniences involved in this move, and I am asking that the membership be patient and supportive so we can have a smooth transition. The biggest problem more than likely will be the phone system. This move should be for approximately 12 months, then we will move back into the newly remodeled Union Hall. The new temporary meeting location will be the new cyber school building 735 Midland ave. This will begin at the October Meeting. I will continue to update you as information is forthcoming.

I have been in contact with the Dept. of Labor today - Monday, 07/13/09 .They have informed me that the Company will be supplying them with our employee mailing info so each employee will be receiving a personal letter informing them with all the pertinent information and an explanation of benefits. There will also be informational meetings setup in the near future.
Please click on: TAA to read the document.
07/07/09 Many of our members have exhausted their initial Unemployment Claim and I have been receiving some calls on the final benefit week being of a lesser amount. This is due to the balance that you are left with from your original claim, Therefore this would entitle you to a sub make up for the difference. You will need some additional info to receive the sub, a copy of the benefit payment information from your accountfor that week. Bring this to the union hall and I will fax your document to the proper parties. If you should need further assistance you can contact me at 724-773-2636
Health Ins. for college graduates: The student is covered through the end of the month in which they graduate. If the employee wants the child to be offered cobra, they must report the child's graduation to the benefits center (1-866-820-2822) within 60 days of their graduation date.
COBRA INFO: The Benefits Center will be sending the information to BCI on July 6. (BCI is the group that does the COBRA administration.) Employees can expect to get their COBRA packets within 2 weeks from then (around July 20). Coverage will be retro back to 7/1. They should be eligible for the subsidy (ee pays 35%), and the rates in the packet should reflect that.
For problems with your sub-pay, fax your new financial determination to Amy Eiter at 1-724-226-5879. If you don't have access to a fax machine, stop by the Union Hall.
In Solidarity, Tony

Brothers and Sisters,
07/22/09 I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the members who participated in the recent food drive on Saturday, June 27. Your efforts were greatly appreciated by all, especially the Salvation Army and the Community Resource Center, both of East Liverpool, Ohio. It is important to continue putting forth an effort of union involvement in the community. Throughout the history of the labor movement, unions have been at the heart of helping all people, not just union members. In this era of the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer, let us set an example to the younger generation that unions are always there for a hand up.
Thank You Again.
Ps:A special Thanks to:
Jeff Martin
Brett Butler

In Solidarity Tep
On Saturday, June 27, several members of Local 1212 participated in a National Day of Service by helping with a food drive. The event was part of a national effort support health care reform. The food drive was very successful, with two pickup trucks worth of food and over $4oo collected. Everything collected stayed local, going to the Community Resource Center in East End and the Salvation Army.
Once again the members of 1212 have shown their commitment to their community, this time by volunteering to help their neighbors who might be struggling to put enough food on their tables.
Thanks to all members who helped and to all members who came out and showed their support by making generous donations
