Hello brothers and sisters,
In recent weeks we have been getting some propaganda from the company about how well we are doing in the Keizan Lean process. The problem I have is that they rarely mentioned anything about the workers that are a key part of earning these goals. So just remember the the hard working men and women of the Steelworkers are the people making this happen. The company is going to say anything they can to try to scare or intimidate us into working harder and harder so they can achieve their financial goals. Don’t let these tactics distract you from doing the best job possible, all they are trying to do is set us up into believing things that are not true so they can reap a greater reward and give us less. As a Union, we have weathered many storms from the Company and if we stand in solidarity we will weather this one as well. We just need to stand together and fight like hell for what we know to be right. Remember they will use all means necessary to divide us so we need to stay strong and unified to overcome this issue. On another subject, I attended the Steward training class that was held in April at the Union Hall, and was impressed with the people learning to become Stewards. They listened attentively and asked great questions. They will be an asset to us going forward. Let me know if you re interested in becoming a Steward, or want to help in some other way. Thanks to the Retirees that donate their time to share their experiences and give advice on how to be a Steward in these classes.
Your brother, Shad Wright     Unit Chair, Refinery
