Because of you, and some assistance from our Congressional Delegation, we were able to push LDRM and DOS to reverse their positions concerning pay for December 24th’s closure. The quick turn around of collecting over 500 signatures in 4 days got pay for not only us, but our family at UE 728. Excellent work!
The petition remains active as we are still pushing to be paid for any and all building closures. In the past the building has been closed because of severe weather, but also for lack of water pressure, power outages, etc. It is not the fault of the employees that the facility is closed, so why are the employees punished by having their pay cut? Encourage your coworkers to sign the petition if they haven’t already, and share it.
