All,

Hope everyone is having a good week. We’ve got Jackson, Denise, and Caleb up in DC talking to our Senators and Congressmen on behalf of the Union this week so big thanks to them for that. If you are interested in our lobbying efforts, make sure you ask them when they get back. Devin Carlisto is also a good resource for legislative issues if you are interested. New lanyards are in! Come by the office or ask me to get you one and I will gladly get you one. Alright, on to the update.

Staffing is Getting Worse

Chris Hewitt has decided that the ranks of ZSE Mgmt are a good fit for him and has accepted a 180 day detail to be a supe. According to Lee Kramer, Hewitt will be going to the B Area to be a supe and we will be getting Jared Simpach. Lee and I discussed when the best time was for Chris to leave us and I said October unless you want to pay a bunch of OT. They opted to pay the OT and are pulling him from the D area on 6/23. This is obviously not good for our staffing. What little spot leave is currently available for shifts Hewitt was on will be gone. We will be keeping a close eye on the shifts Hewitt is vacating and making sure they do not publish them under guides or work them short when they shouldn’t. Please help me in doing that.

TMU Issues

Ok so I am counting on a lot of feedback here based on the amount of it I hear on the floor. The LSC is going to try to help TMU and the areas improve relations. So I know you all have had some issue at some point or another with metering or any number of things involving TMU. Please take the 5 minutes out of your day to email me those issues or questions and we might be able to work to correct them and improve our relationship with TMU. You can reply directly to this email and it will go to me.

Constitution Changes

Dracarys,
