To better serve our membership, a shop steward training was held on February 12, 2009 at 1:30 pm at the TWU Local 200 union office.  The training was held by 2nd Vice President Andre’ Andrews.  Andre is also the first step grievance officer.

The shop stewards present at the training were Jonathan Smith, Maribel Tejada, Candace Wilcher, Reginald Kennedy, and Salvador Garnica.

At this training, Andre’ talked about the importance of steward commitment, credibility and responsibility.  He also talked about the importance of knowing your contract and sticking to it. 

There will be a follow up training for this in a few weeks.

President’s Message

           Your local union officers had worked hard in the past months since their election, to prepare for the hard economic times yet to come.  We have restructured our local to be more effective and efficient in representing our members.  Extensive training for officers and stewards are being planned.  Contracts are being reviewed by the officers of the local to define, streamline and make them more effective to serve the members of Local 200. 

           During the transitional period, we are asking for cooperation and patience to prepare for the hard economic times to come.  The City and County of San Francisco is experiencing serious budget shortfalls which have resulted in freezing of jobs and lay offs of some city employees.  MTA also has serious budgetary shortfalls which has prevented the hiring of our members. However, Local 200 has not experienced lay offs of its members as of yet.  This is much to do to the fact that all of our departments are already short of personnel due to attrition. 

           Presently, we are pursuing management in the following areas.  Hiring of members in all job classifications.  Even though economic times are hard, this will include encouraging management to hire employees in order to deliver safe service to the public as directed by proposition E.  We are endeavoring to coalesce with management in solving issues of concerns to our members.  Currently, we are preparing for contract negotiations.  It is anticipated that the negotiations will reflect the tough economic times.  We’re encouraging all of our members to participate.  Contact your stewards and elected officers on any issue or concerns that you might have. 

                 Together we will endure. 

                            Fraternally yours,

                            Reggie McCray
                            President


3rd Vice Presidents' Corner

           The 3rd Vice President position at TWU Local 200 Board was created to represent the members covered under the City MOU. Our group has enjoyed prosperous times, but the future may not be as good. If the member stand together, we will overcome what is thrown to us.


           Currently, we are trying to roll over our present contract to July 2010. The City as usual is not making this easy. If anyone has a proposal that they would like to see in our contract, please forward them to the Board for evaluation. If you are interested in being a member of the Contract Negotiations Team, please let us know.


           Joe Abad
