Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As I began this letter to the membership, I would like to encourage you. I know that as a Union member, it feels like this set of contract talks are moving at a snail’s pace. I agree that the contract extensions have been long. I know that we all are impatient to see a signed contract.

I know that each day, when we report to work, as we come through the doors to begin our shift, the daily pressures accompany us.We must face the challenges ahead and do our best.

I think our membership is among the best workforces in this company and even in this country. I think there is no greater asset to a company than the membership of our Union. The members of this Union who daily give their all, who bust their chops to get the work done.

I would like to challenge management to work with our membership, not against our membership. As President/Shop Chair, I know our membership is top notch! The Management does not build trucks! The membership works hard to build quality trucks. The building of quality trucks provides good jobs for both Management and Union members. 

I am 100% convinced, that when Management acknowledges and appreciates the Union worker, then our workplace will be more productive. When the knowledge and skills of our members are given the respect that is deserved, then we can succeed. We can succeed only, if we work together.

We can move forward and keep improving working conditions with this membership and our elected officials.

I want to encourage all of us to work together toward our goal of Solidarity. Through Solidarity we can achieve our goals.

Let me assure you that your Bargaining Committee and your President/Shop Chair of this great Union will continue to be very clear in its message to management on all issues.

The committee will continue to be diligent in our efforts and commitment to serving the membership.

 In Solidarity,

Dan Stephens 

President  /  Shop Chair
