Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

We have received many questions about the counting of the financial relief ballets and the arbitration regarding the scheduling of supplemental employees.

 

The ballots will be counted on Monday April 27, 2009.  The results will be posted as so as we get the correct count.

 

Both attorneys have submitted briefs in the supplemental arbitration.  The decision will most likely take a couple of months.  We will inform you as soon as we have an answer.

 

 

Please feel free to contact this office with any questions or concerns you may have.

 
 

 


 

Dear Brothers and Sisters:


This is to notify you that the website was down from April 4,  until  approximately April 11, 2009 due to a mix up at the internet registration service. We do not anticipate anymore problems though there is a possibility of a temporary outage while we finalize some changes to avoid this in the future.
 
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Union Office at 412-481-5233. 



Thank you
Gary F. Pedicone
Secretary/Treasurer

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
We have received numerous calls asking the outcome of the March 17, 2009 meeting involving Local 250, representatives from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Local 77.
Although much was discussed, many differences were aired; little has changed as of the writing of this posting.
Should a reasonable proposal for financial relief be presented to us, we would feel obligated to present it to the membership for a vote.
It is important to remember that any such agreement would be subject to approval of the membership.
As always feel free to contact this office with your questions or concerns.

Fraternally yours,
 
Gary F. Pedicone
Secretary/Treasurer

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I have done my best to keep you informed regarding the issue of concessions requested by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

A meeting was held March 9, 2009 between Mr. Rowe and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, however, I was not included. 

Much has transpired in the time between that meeting and the writing of this Letter. 

The latest information I can provide you with is that I will be attending a meeting in Washington DC on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters headquarters with myself, Mr. Rowe and representatives of the International. 

It is my sincere hope this issue will be resolved and solidarity will be restored between Local 77 and Local 250.

However, I will continue to do what I feel is in the best interest of our members no matter what transpires or who attends this meeting. 

Please feel free to contact this office with your questions or concerns.

 

Fraternally yours,                                            

Gary F. Pedicone

Secretary/Treasurer

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I would like to take this opportunity to answer some of the questions and concerns you may have in regards to Mr. Brimmeier’s February 26, 2009 letter to Jock Rowe, Secretary Treasurer of Teamsters Local 77.

Let me first say thank you for your overwhelming support of our decision not to give in to these unreasonable demands. Your calls have been heartfelt and appreciated.

That being said, I take exception to the misrepresentation that I was unwilling to negotiate. THIS WAS NOT A NEGOTIATION!

  • The rumors that perhaps there would be a trading of holidays for vacation days are NOT true.
  • I was also asked if we would recoup our losses somewhere down the road. The answer is NO.

These are straight out concessions for which you will receive nothing in return.

Most importantly, the insinuation in the letter that if we give these concessions no one would be “laid off” is simply not true. When asked specifically, Mr. Brimmeier would not commit to that guarantee.

I hope that this will clear up any misconceptions you may have had in this matter, if not feel free to contact this office with your questions or concerns.

Thank you again for staying United, for as someone once said “As Always we are in this together!”

Fraternally yours,

Gary F. Pedicone
Secretary/Treasurer
