Event Planned for Annual Shareholders Meeting

June 5, 2015 

As previously reported in the Dispatch, mediated talks have not been going well. As a result the negotiating committee requested of the Division that all possible legal pressure be brought to bear on the Company to move these talks forward. The first planned event will take place at the annual shareholders meeting at Willis Tower in downtown Chicago on June 10^th at 8am. The event will include a demonstration and hand billing prior to the meeting, followed by attendance of the meeting, to demand an industry-leading contract now. 

There will be a preparation meeting on June 9^th at 6:00pm CST at the Chicago Airport Hilton to discuss the events for the following day. The meeting room will be pointed out to members when they enter the hotel lobby. If you are planning to attend on the 10^th please make every effort to attend the preparation meeting on Tuesday evening. Members that wish to attend the shareholder meeting must bring their proof of ownership of shares. For many of you this came in the mail in and is titled Annual Meeting Notice & Admission Ticket. You will not be able to enter the shareholders meeting without proof of shares. 

ALL members are strongly encouraged to attend to show the Company we are serious about bringing these talks to conclusion. Again, you deserve it, and only an industry-leading contract will bring these talks to an agreement! If you cannot attend, and have not yet voted your shares, please see your Business Agent to discuss how you can help. 

The rank and file negotiating committee is looking forward to your assistance.

The rally address and times follow:

WHEN:            Wed., June 10, 2015 at 8:00 a.m., CST

WHERE:         Willis Tower, 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, 60606

In Solidarity,
