As before, if we receive an offer that is worthy of being brought back to the membership to review, we will get the message out as soon as possible by posting it on the website and having copies available at the both Local and the dispatch office. The next scheduled meeting is the 1st of May; stay tuned for updates. Your Bargaining Team, Chris Winters Greg Flatmo Cynthia Grant Fernando Arevalo Mark Stella Toby Hoffman Danny Nunez For online updates go to www.iupatdc5.org opeiu#8/afl-cio
