Happy New Year! 2020, haul A$$! 2020 was a challenge to everyone. But if we are reading this, we are here, dammit! I am so proud of how we all handled this unprecedented challenge. Branch 725 moves on to the next great challenges that will undoubtedly present themselves. And President Les Dillman and his executive board will do their best to meet those challenges.
But COVID-19 is still rearing its ugly head. So, let us finish strongly to protect the health and welfare of our membership. You are and will always be heroes! No one can take that away from you. So, let’s use this strength as body amour for the things that we know the company will throw at us.
A long journey led to us having a proposed new contract. Let us move forward in unity to strengthen our resolve for future challenges. So now when management does their driver observations, etc., they should seem so minor compared to COVID-19. When management tries to take advantage of us during a walk, let’ s think about COVID-19. Whatever they will try to bring to us, we are armored in knowing that we were there when the country needed us. And now, do not play with us. But you know they will.
Thanks to Les Dillman and his leadership along the way. And to all of the thankless work that your shop stewards put in. We love you, shop stewards! And to the members. The executive board could not be prouder to serve such deserving people! You are why we are here. And we will never lose focus of that.
But keep this in mind: We have a new district manager. POOMs have been moving around. So, you know what that means....
