Brothers and Sisters,
We are looking for at least 20 or so volunteers to assist packing food boxes at the Community Food Bank this Saturday June 7, 2008 from 8:30 am to 12 pm. This is a great opportunity to show our appreciation to the Food Bank which helped so many of our members during our strike. Please contact the hall at 294-7696 to volunteer.

Brothers and Sisters,

The union hall roof is in sore need of repairs. Last time it rained, it
leaked into some files. This is a call for volunteers for anyone who has some experience with rolled roofing. If we get enough volunteers, we could assign only two-hour shifts each. Anyone that can help please call the hall at 294-7696 leave a message with contact information for Eduardo Quintana.

Please hurry, the monsoons are coming!

2007 general wage increase amounts and base rate minimums were not clarified durring the 2006 Labor Negotiations. IAMAW Local Lodge 933 and Raytheon have agreed to resolve this outstanding issue.

As a result of this agreement, fifty (50) Raytheon Bargaining Unit employees (Union and Non Union) will divide an estimated settlement of more than $70,000.

The Union looks forward to resolving other outstanding issues and will seek to pursue common goals , such as the Voluntary Protection Program and other safety initiatives with Raytheon while continuing to build the best products in the defense industry.

Old Pueblo Lodge 933 represents the finest defense workers in America. Join your union by contacting your shop steward or request an application by calling the Union office at 294-7696.

Together we can achieve more!
