Various News

Good Evening, My Friends,

I had a couple quick things I wanted to shoot out to you all real quick. I've been tied up in some other things lately, so I've been a little remiss in my union emails, but hopefully I'll get the desk cleared off and back in order soon. So, without added delay, here goes:

First off, the electronic technology statement issue's still unresolved. Our counterparts down at the Press-Telegram are supposed to have a meeting with HR down there to get an explanation of the monitoring clause; once that's resolved, we should be able to clear things up quickly. In the meantime, just hang onto your sheets. Ron agreed to wait until the issue's clarified, so don't worry about handing them in or, if you already have, don't lose sleep over them. I'm sure we'll get it worked out soon.

Secondly, we've got a pair of open jobs, so if anyone's interested, direct them to the posts below.

That's all for now and stay tuned for our other ongoing adventures,
Brent
