Roseburg News:

City of Winston:

After a year of grievances over eliminating a bargaining unit job (Kathy Holcomb, previous Vice President of the Local), longevity pay issues, warnings and finally, narrowing the twenty two grievances down to ten to take to arbitration and then narrowing those ten grievances down to eight, a settlement agreement was reached that gives Kathy $5,118.75 in back pay and an increase in pay to include her longevity that the City had taken away. District Reps. John Hilkey and Bert Larson worked on these issues, trying to save the Local and City the monies involved in presenting these cases to Arbitration, that most likely would have netted the same amount of money but six months down the road. John Hilkey said he wished to thank the Committee and City of Winston Union members for being patient and letting the process work. This unit has only been organized since 2002 and this is their first Working Agreement they are working under. Kathy is scheduled to attend Specialized Training for Women July 11-16 and Leadership I August 29 – Sept 3, 2004 at the Machinist Leadership School in Hollywood, Maryland..

Roseburg Forest Products:

While our mill shut down at the end of 2003, and the Local sold the Union Hall to the long time tenant Roseburg Martial Arts.

We have still maintained an eye on what the Company is doing. At last word in the negotiations Roseburg’s offer was turned down overwhelmingly. Their offer included no pay increases for four years, $500 bonus each year, must use vacation before FMLA, 2 hours of mandatory overtime for forced attendance in safety meetings , pension increase for future service only, new hires first year $4 per hour less wages, 2^nd year $3.00 per hour less wages, 3^rd year $2.00 per hour less wages and the 4^th year $1.00 per hour less. It would take 5 years to get up to your regular rate of pay. Day at a time vacation at the option of the Company and all vacation pay is lump sum. 1600 hours to qualify for vacation pay. Needless to say it was voted down as previously stated.
