Meet Your Lane ATU Crew

Hello again brothers and sisters. I am trully sorry for the delay in updates. In all honesty since being reinstalled as EBO I have been running my Italian ass off. However, Now that we have the new officers and stewards up and running it has allowed for some relief for me.

Your Officers

Stepping in as Extra-Board Liasion, Darryl Whitacker has been handling issues on the Extra-Board very well. In his first couple of weeks he insured two run around's were awarded to the membership. Nice work D.

Newly elected Rec-Sec John Gelsomino has made a name for himself amongst the membership as a problem solver around the drivers lounge. We want to hear your concerns, comments and questions and with Johns' dedication and persistance many of you have began showing your interest in the union again, or in many cases for the first time.

Tom Shakleford, as always brings his experience to the table as the Fleet Services Liaison.

In addition, Carl Faddis has rejoined the crew as Extra-Board Steward and Rebeca Bailey has signed on as our EmX Steward.

Jim Stinson, upon returning from leave, will resume his role as our "Night Watchman" (Full Time Steward - Nights).

You may be wondering - why so many Union positions? For one, I can't be everywhere at once and there are still twice as many Supervisors to keep in Check. Secondly I want every faction, every form of work to be represented. So we will continue to have presence and we want you the member to continue to approach us, inform us of activity pretaining to our Unions workplace and utilize us.

On The Table

Currently we are at step 3 with two grievances. Recently an agreement was reached regarding cell phone use awarding 2 days of pay, making whole, to one Operator and settling for a more reasonable discipline for another Operator by returning one day of pay to another.

More to come by the end of the week.

In Solidarity,
Brian Pasquali
