Presidents letter

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We received a notice from our Membership requesting a special meeting to

be held on a Friday after 4:30pm concerning a list of items they would like answers on. As some of the concerns pertain to International, I have a call out to our International Rep. Once I get confirmation when the soonest possible date he will be able to attend, a notice will be put out for the date and time the meeting will be held.

We are also trying to get answers on the sale of UPI to US Steel, as for what is going to happen with the plant. As of right now we have not been able to get any answers other than we are going to continue business as usual. The company has stated that once they can get some answers, they will let us know.Continue to work safe and as soon as we can get some answers and information,

we will let everyone know.

In Solidarity, Ben Salazar
