The committee had a productive day today. We tentatively agreed to several articles in the contract. A tentative agreement means that the article that was agreed to is pulled off the table and not discussed any further. The key economic issue that is still open at this time is wages, pension and insurance. We hope to have a completed package by the end of tomorrow to present to you on Saturday, August 9, 2008.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

The Union proposed a $.20 cents increase the second year and an additional $.20 cents the third year which would provide you a $62.08 benefit per month per year of service the third year.

In addition, concerning overtime the Company is proposing no double time for Sunday unless you work forty regular hours during the normal work week.
