Brothers and Sisters,
We began contract negotiations on Tuesday Sept 19, 2017 at noon. We went through the non economic issues and got some language cleaned up. There are still a couple of non economic issues tied to economics that remain open. We presented our economic package to the company on Wednesday Sept 20, 2017 and they are currently in caucus with the issues presented. We will resume negotiations on Monday Sept 25, 2017. Your negotiating team is working hard to present you with the best contract possible.

Rocky Blabey, Brian Ellis and Mike Consolazio.

Your Negotiating Committee, along with DBR Walker, BR Mrdjenovich and Organizer Kevin Dimeco, met again with the company to try and iron out some last minute contract issues. After two more passes the company presented its last, best and final offer. The committee spent the rest of the afternoon assembling a summary of all the proposed contract changes.
Please look for the signs directing you to the appropriate door to sign in. We purposely have multiple doors to alleviate any large back ups getting you in. Sign in is by your last name.
Second shift presentation is at 1pm. Doors open at 1230pm. All other members presentation is at 430pm with doors opening at 4pm. Voting will immediately follow the committees presentation. The meetings will be at the Holiday Inn Express at I 95 and 520 (301 Tucker Rd Cocoa Fl)
Come out and listen to the presentation. Vote on the company's last, best and final offer. Don't let someone else decide your future.

IAM-Jacobs TOSC negotiations
Sisters and Brothers
This Sunday morning the Company met with your Union negotiation committee and the company passed across its last, best and final offer for our members to vote. Your committee is now in the process of going through this proposed package. Wage concessions stand out and equate to a 17% cut if you are at the current maximum rate of the respective classification. A positive to this package was overtime paid after 8 hours, layoff and recall by seniority and introduction to the IAM Pension plan.
Your Union committee will present the company's LBAF proposal for vote at the Union Hall on Saturday, January 25, 2014. Your committee will finalize the time of vote during the upcoming week and notices will be posted on this blog and the shop bulletin boards.
This has been a long enduring process and at this time your committee would like to thank all of you for your continued support.
