I want to inform the membership that I have a pre-booked vacation scheduled over-seas with my family; we are leaving tomorrow.
This was booked months ago well before I was aware of our current layoff announcement.
I understand this comes at a critical time.
I know the timing is not ideal, however I’ve made arrangements to make sure things keep moving while I’m away.
Our coordinator, Mark Gee, will be holding down the fort and has other reps here who have been part of the talks.
I will have my phone with me and will be talking as needed but the reps are very aware of our position in these talks, and I have the utmost confidence that they will keep us moving forward.
I won’t be answering emails or texts while I’m gone – at least according to my wife………….
