The bargaining surveys have been sent to each location’s servicing representative to pass out to our members. They will be collected and returned to the Collective Bargaining Department for collating. The return date is February 15, 2003. 

The next step in the GE negotiation process for 2003 will have Director of Strategic Resources Steve Sleigh and Asst. Director Neil Gladstein traveling on February 6, 2003 to GE headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut. They will be gathering information related to the IAMAW’s information request.

As the information is gathered and organized, a schedule for future meetings will be developed and disseminated to all locations.
