Hershey Park tickets drawn by JoWaug-Derk
The winners are: Joe Fortini and Elaine Durham
Gerald Waring said that he was hurt on the job last Tuesday regarding blisters on his feet. His supervisor did take him to a doctor waho said he must stay off his feet for 70% of his work day. The next day he met with his supervisor, mamager and Randy King who gave him a paper regarding transitional duties. Though given those transitional duties he was still given the impression that he had to continue measuring. It was recommend that he do it with a wheel while driving but since he was not comfortable with that he ended up walking it. His question was if the supervisor and manager both knew he was to stay off his feet why did they give him a duty that did not reflect what was written in the transitional duties? Jo Waug-Derk was going to check into it.

Jo Waug-Derk reviewed super seniority which if your entire department is not working then you a super seniority person would also not work. If you bump down it must be a critical position. Also if bumpig down you will get lower pay.
Joe Fortini asked how do you use your union members only benefits. Jo Waug-Derk directed him to the council 13 website and the information should be located there at the Members Only spot.
