Local 700 Picket Captain Line Assignments
Brothers and Sisters, we finished negotiations after 1AM last night. The company failed on wage security and retirement security, and they offered nothing to improve our job security. Your committee voted unanimously to reject the contract, and we will explain the Last, Best and Final offer on Sunday. Thank you all for rallying the shop. We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Your negotiating committee will be walking around the Oakdale prior to doors closing for the Ratification meeting to talk to you and answer questions.

Community Services Committee Supports Local Food Pantry
The Community Services Committee, led by Heather Merrick, recently donated $1,000 to the Amazing Grace Food Pantry. The funds were drawn from the Community Services Fund, which is supported by a raffle held at the start of each monthly committee meeting. This contribution highlights the committee’s commitment to addressing local needs and supporting vital community resources like the food pantry.
