Morning.
I have been out of the office for a couple of weeks and wanted to make sure I sent out all of the updates I have at this point. Some may be old news to many of you but still needed to be sent out.
PDC Naperville work-
As I was typing this email with updates, I received an email from Corporate. They have notified us that they will be recalling an additional 5 members from the volunteer list to work in Naperville starting next week. The list is below. If you are on this list, you will be getting contacted shortly, if you haven't already.
Benefits posting-
Benefits posted information a few days ago. You can find it here on webpage: SUB REQUESTS 2024.
We have had several issues with sub pay. I have spoken to corporate on the recent payouts or lack of payouts. They have two weeks from the week a request for sub has been submitted to payout. If you are having issues with sub not being paid out and the request has been submitted over two weeks ago, please let us know.
Chrysler Council Meeting
We had out meeting with all of the other Committees and Presidents from the other Locals throughout the corporation during the week of March 18th.
- We asked if they have set up a timeline for Belvidere yet. We were told that they (International Union) are meeting biweekly on all plans throughout the corporation. When they get a timeline for plans here in Belvidere, they will reach out. At this point, nothing has been set up for Assembly and the Battery plant.
- We stressed the importance of getting an agreement to cover our medical insurance until we are back to work like they have done with our sub pay. This is being worked on.
- The inventory for the corporation is very high for days supply on the dealer lots. This has created some layoffs at other locations and scaling back on overtime.
- There were several reports from the other Locals about members already in the attendance procedure, which includes members already being discharged.
- The combining of S/A and FMLA (when it can be combined) started on April 1st.
- They are looking at canvassing laid off Trades in Belvidere and Detroit labor market to fill spots in Kokomo. When we get more information on this, we'll get that out to everyone.
Food Bank in April
We will not be doing a food giveaway in April. Our next one is set for Saturday May 4th at 10:00am at the Hall.
IDES AUDIT:
Mike has received information from the unemployment office about doing random audits. I've attached his example copy to this email and some useful information from him to use when filling out your form.
We can't stress this enough, do not ignore this form from IDES.
As I get more information, I'll get it out to everyone. If you have any questions, let me know.
