INSIDE WIREMAN NEGOTIATIONS
At the time of writing this we are anticipating the Special Called Ratification Meeting to be held at the Sacramento Union Hall on May 13th at 5PM. We mailed out a letter with the proposed terms we had come to an agreement on with NECA and will be presenting to the membership for voting. We hope you can attend and see the benefits of this last negotiation. Thank you all for your time and attention to this matter.
