Agreement

 The System Committee has reached an agreement with FPL on a contract proposal.  We are planning on meeting with the System Council Delegates on Friday, March 24th, as there has been a number of changes to the original proposal in the wage and pension areas and some modification to the language.   The purpose of the meeting is for the delegates to review the changes.   It is hopeful that we will have the amended proposal to the members following the meeting on Friday.

 As discussed in the last bulletin, the System Council’s Web Page has been experiencing a problem and is not presently up and running on the Internet.  We have been receiving a number of inquiries on the reason that the site is down.  We are sad to report that one of our fellow Brothers, a FPL employee who worked at the Saint Lucie Nuclear Plant, Bill Johnson, has past away.  Bill was handling our web hosting service and it was in his name.  In order to keep our domain name the same we are now having legal documents signed to transfer our name.  We offer our condolences to Billy’s family.     

Members of the negotiating committee will be visiting Local Union meetings to give an explanation of the proposal.  Please plan on attending so that you may receive first hand information on what you will be voting on.
