Hey NALC Branch 17 members! We have a contract, which I'm sure most of you know and know what it entails.  Hopefully we will see the new contact pay adjustments in either the first or second pay period in May.  Supposedly the backpay portion should happen in the fall of this year. (Fingers crossed!lol)  Also the new overtime lists should be implemented at the beginning of the 3rd quarter.  


There has been no info yet on the climate study done in the main Scranton office.  When it becomes available, that will be passed along to everyone. On that note, everyone should be more vigilant about checking their hours on LiteBlue. Try to make a habit of checking your hours at the end of each work week to make sure your hours are correct and to also make sure you are charged with the correct sick/annual leave if you have any for that pay period.


To all members who attend the monthly meetings, thank you!  Please try to reach out to your fellow members and encourage them to attend in person or log on through the zoom link!  It is so important to hear what is going on.  Good or bad.  Information is knowledge and knowledge is power! You might learn something or find out an answer to a question you didn't even know you wanted to ask.  I know that coming to a union meeting is the last thing on the to-do list for pretty much everyone after a day of dealing with management, then customers, traffic, weather, co-workers!!! Years ago, it was the thing to do!!! Beer and wings were always a definite afterwards and conversation with your co-workers, your friends.  We need that these days... that comradery.  We need to stick together, to have one another's back, to be a union.  There are two meetings left before the summer break, make them count and attend!
