We will be sending out the notifications for nominations of elected offices next week, and nominations will be held at the next local union meeting on August 12. Everyone should receive the notification by July 23, 2021. We met with the Company to discuss the technology upgrades that will be happening in the field with the MDTs in the vehicles. They have requested membership participation from us to help guide them for the actual needs for end user to help understand the difficulties that may be encountered. This may take quite a while, but we have some good people on that committee. I was appointed by the NJ AFL-CIO to a Workforce Development Group for input on how to get the future workers of tomorrow trained and up to speed to enter the workforce. The committee is being asked to give a recommendation as to what is needed to get some younger folks trained up for those not looking to go to college. The big area of interest is the Energy sector. More to come on that. The Company let us know that they have secured approximately 150 FTE for the upcoming storm Elsa that is expected to hit us tonight and through the weekend…all be safe and watch out for each other out there.
