Thank you for calling local 1051's information tape, this is Friday Tuesday November 16th, 2004, President Teoli speaking.

Friday Nov 19^th is the last day for our surplus workers in Fairhaven CSSC. It is a sad time for everyone, and my heart goes out to those losing their job. Local 1051 had a successful rally to protest the outsourcing of our jobs, and we wont stop fighting. To all those who are getting laid off, I want to thank you for your hard work and effort in the local. Special thanks to our DVP Frank Fostin , and stewards Jason Carvalho, Mike Brightman, Gary Almeida, Sandy Botelho, John Barkley. Thanks for all your hard work and never giving up on the fight.

There was also a surplus/VTP on the tech side. We did have some techs that took the VTP and have not heard if anyone will be getting surplus. I have contact George Ivanowsky to confirm any surplus, Don O’Brien is also working with the the stewards on getting a uniformed seniority list. DVP Fran Maher will be taking the VTP offer, his last day will be Friday the 19^th.

We will be having an Eboard meeting on Thursday the 18^th, followed up by an general membership meeting at the American Legion Hall on main street across from the union hall.

Local 1051 will be having a winter celebration on Dec 3^rd at the Highlander in Acushnet. All members are free, and guests will be 10 dollars. If you need further info please call the hall.

That is all I have for now, I will update this tape as soon as I get more info. Thanks for calling 1051 info tape, have a great day.
