COMMITTEE MEMBERS APPOINTED

July 19, 2010 - Local Union President Mike Lowery appointed Union officers to two different committees today representing Board of County Commissioners, Escambia County bargaining unit employees under the ATU Local 1395.

VP representing BCC workers Fredrico Stewart and David Bland were appointed to the Classification Committee which will soon review the current job classifications.  There is concern that some former job classifications were bunched into one classification(s) under Fox Lawson System.  This in turn has not benefited workers who might have certifications, etc. that in turn should allow them to have a different classification and/or an increase in pay.  Stewart is an employee from Roads and Bridges Dept. working at 9 mile road.

President Mike Lowery is actually a committee member to the Classification committee but plans on having David Bland - shop steward from Roads & Bridges / Maintenance / Camp 5 to attend the meetings with Stewart.  Bland is the alternate to Lowery.

Also David Bland - shop steward also from Roads & Bridges / Maintenance / Camp 5 will serve as the Union committee member on the Group Health Benefits Committee.  The alternate to Bland is Chris Hayes the Financial Secretary/Treasurer of Local 1395 and employee from Solid Waste.

Any questions from members can be directed to atu1395@aol.com and the questions or concerns will be forward on to the committee member(s).
