E-Board Meeting and Website Updates

This afternoon the Executive Board convened for a meeting at the attorney office. The new board members were given a class on the topic of association representation. We discussed several relevant issues, one being contract negotiations. The attorney has been in dialogue with labor relations and the first negotiation meeting is tentatively scheduled to begin in a few weeks. We will continue to update you as this process unfolds.

The C rate and Longevity Pay are both being addressed with Labor Relations. We have established a complete list of all members eligible for the Longevity Pay and it is being sent to Labor Relations along with a formal letter outlining the issue. We will update you further once we have received word back.

We have confirmed the meeting of the membership date for Sunday March 24, 2019 at 9am. It will be held upstairs in the Credit Union located at 147 W Fourth St, South Boston. The event is also scheduled in the website calendar. The Executive Board has begun drafting an agenda for the meeting and will post an official agenda later this week, on this site. If any members have issues they would like the Board to address at the meeting, please send your request to the General Inquire email link (Eboard@mbtapa.com) on the home page.

Several events have been added or updated in the calendar. The IOD procedures and the Know Your Rights pages have both been reviewed by council and are now available for your viewing on their respective pages. There have also been more websites added to the “Links” section.

Fraternally,

The E-Board
