GATEWAY PLANT WIDE BID UPDATE
Sisters and Brothers,
I would like to update our members about the ongoing issues with the staffing movement to AJPC and the proposed schedules that the local never agreed to since my previous bulletin.
- Gateway Plant Wide Bid is paused again as of Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
- There will be no schedules with floating 5th rotation days off for Shift # 3. The Local demanded Monday to Friday and Sunday to Thursday schedule with fixed consecutive rotation days off to respect our member’s work-life balance.
- A new MOA is signed on September 8, 2022, at 11 am by the Regional, National and CPC.
