                       Our Proposed Extended Benefit Fund...

     Will be coming to you for a vote at the September Union Meetings. This will be a busy meeting with a budget to be approved and in some areas the Industry Advancement is up for a look also.

     You will see wording per the law that refers to union dues. The EBF, if we approve it, will be an additional $.25 assessment the contractor will remit from our pay for us to help each other out when we are really up against it-Unemployed. 
     
     It bears to mention that our EBF is,by the letter of the law, a health care plan and you will see references to this throughout the SPD (Summary Plan Description). It is transparent to us but there is a huge amount of legalese involved. Situation normal is having indispensible professionals convert a plan from English to their language. The intent here is to get it all out to everyone for a look. Here we go. 

     We have included the SPD or Summary Plan Description below and it is lengthy but very brief compared to other SPDs that we are used to on the www.nasifund.org website of those we have received in the mail. The SPD for our proposed Extended Benefit Fund is heavy duty in terms of what it will provide for 669’s Members and our families. This why it is being published here in advance so you will have it in your hands to examine well before the night you are asked to vote on it. You need to be able to evaluate well in advance what is being proposed and draw your own conclusion. The intent here is that you will use this lead time to bring your questions to vote night and they will be answered. We all need to do this together, we can and we should; we all know that.We have all heard as many tales of human suffering by our Brothers, Sisters and each other. We can end the problem by voting for the Extended Benefit Fund, let’s get to it.

                                                May Hours…

     Were not what we were looking for but also not surprising at 987,215. This number was indicative of the dearth of bidding that takes place following the first of the year when a contract expires. We need to address that problem in the next contract to reduce the uncertainty that is pinning down the folks who do the bidding in the next contract. We can talk more
about that next month because this month’s plate is full. See you at the meetings in September.

                                 Do you have an email address?

     If you do,please send it to JohnB@Sprinklerfitters669.org. We are working on having an email notification system for all Members, Retirees and contractors. This should help us greatly when we need to move information at a high rate of speed. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated and to your best interest as well as 669’s. Thank you.

                                         Keep Putting 669 First!
