When V/P, filed grievances that had over $60,000 awarded for delayed conversions
We have settlements that
have awarded money to Branch 343 and escalated awards to our members for ongoing violations but most of that real credit goes to Tom
Schreiber
My experience and knowledge of the grievance process has resulted in more timely and efficient settlements. We must be able
to recognize when a grievance has no merit and I am not afraid to do that. We must continue to find ways to be even better than we
are.
Continue to contribute to MDA, Food Drive, LCPF, and Branch 343 PAC Fund
Have developed a monitoring system for bids, conversions,
EPs and back pay issues
This Branch has been under budget 3 straight years which has made it possible to have tens of thousands of
dollars in repairs, improvements and updates completed. This office has been fiscally responsible and that has benefited this entire
branch.
