This is Sec-Treas Dan Hurley. Today is Saturday March 29th. The Local met with the company all day today, is still meeting, and expects to meet into the night as well as Sunday.

Many issues were discussed and we are pleased at the movement from the company. It is no doubt to the Bargaining Committee that the membership’s serious intension to withhold their labor in order to receive a fair contract that has made a difference.

Although there has been significant movement by the company we are still far apart on key issues such as terms of employment for new hires. Again, we will be meeting through the night and Sunday and will keep you updated.

Our next communication will be Sunday. Thank you for your continued support and solidarity.
