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
