Problems

Well, it has been a while. Still working on asbestos. Now, there is a nearby site that wants to join our Union. The agency is fighting it. We have been working on the overtime issue. Managment has changed the procedure in overtime without notifying, or offering to bargain with, the Union.

Tried talking to lawyers over the Asbstos issue. They really couldn't do anything as the company that produced it is no longer in business. We are in conmtact with a branch in Washington and they are helping us prepare an Environmental health hazrad request with NIOSH.

The basic issue is that management will not sit and inform the union on what they are doing. Bottom line, we are going to probably have to file another Unfair labor Practice
