To all members,

I just received this notification that could affect some members. Please take a look at the two items and if you run into a problem please notify your union representative

For the Tuition Assistance Plan:

According to the Company, the vendor who manages the TAP was notified that the strike was over and that the plan should be reinstated effective on the date that the employee returned to work, however the vendor had a problem with making those updates in their computer system. The problem has been corrected and those updates will be entered this Thursday. People should be able to access the TAP on Friday (6/10/16) however reimbursements should cover the period beginning 6-1-16.

Possible payroll problems

As you know, the 1st day of the strike was on Wednesday April 13th and members returned to work on Wednesday June 1st on whatever tour they were on the week that the strike began.

For the payroll week ending 6-4-16, the Company is going to count any overtime worked on April 10th, 11th and 12th toward the overtime build for week ending June 4th.This would normally be a good thing but the problem is that their payroll system can't figure this out so the calculations are being done manually. Any owed money should be cleared up by next weeks check. (This should be a nightmare)

Fraternally,

John Buchan

President
