PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE |
|
| |
| |
 |
|
No, I'm not on a cruise, this picture was taken in Cobh, Ireland over the summer.
It was a productive week here at GGEA. We held Segments on Tuesday and got some great feedback from the Reps. Paul and I met with Jason and Jesus for contract maintenance, as well as Lisa and Melanie. It's important to keep the lines of communication open and solve issues before they become problems.
Your bargaining team is looking through the over 900 responses we received on the Bargaining Survey. They will read through each and every comment and look for trends, concerns, and suggestions. We are bargained with the district this past Thursday. See the Update below: |
