How much are you making with the July '08 raise? Ask your Local Union Representative if anyone one should know it should be him, if not did you get copy of the contract? Why are you making .10 less than before, another question for you Local Representative.
Man! I have retired and I know how to find out those questions. Come on now! You can do better than that.

Eligible for Nomination
On page 106 of the TCU/BRC By-laws effective Oct. 1, 1999, Section 2, (c) it states: Candidates for office or committee shall have had one (1) year or more continuous membership.
Brother Mills brought this up at the last meeting, before the Local Protective Board at Erwin, TN., during the Teleconference discussion and it has caused the Board to inform myself that Ms. Gardner was disqualified as stated in the By-laws, but Brother Vanover has nearly 3 years and meets all the other requirements in the By-laws. So I ask you to consider (surveying/polling/voting) for Tommy Vanover as new Committeeman.

Survey/Poll/Election
Brothers & Sisters Carmen,
You have a dilemma before you, one to go back or step into the future. You know what you had from before 1990 until Feb. 2007, do you really want to return to where you have been before. Or do you want to go forward. Brother Rick Phillips had to leave due to his injury, and has offered you Rebecca Gardner as a replacement, well Brother Mills has caused the Local Chairman & President in Erwin to find Sister Gardner ineligible to run, well Tommy Vanover said after the last meeting that he would run for Committeeman if Sister Rebecca was caused to be disqualified, I have spoken with Tommy Vanover and he is ready to run, in her stead.
So brothers & sisters I ask you to cast your vote for Brother Tommy Vanover as your new Committeeman at CORBIN.

Time for Change
It has become time for Change
With my injury from June '06 sidelining me from work, and my not being able to properly represent you while being at home. I have informed Brother Corn at Erwin, TN. of the need to have a new Committeeman at Corbin, KY., I have recommended Sister Rebecca Gardner for my position, but we have to hold a Survey or Polls to see who the members at Corbin, wish to have represent them, Tommy Mills wishes to have back the office of Committeeman, he is a good man but do you the members wish to go backwards?
I believe Sister Gardner to be talented beyond her years in age, she has a college degree, so she should be well prepared to educational wise, she owns a computer for which we can transfer, the many files which I have to it. And the International Representatives have a web site, which she will have access to. And it contains valuable information which she can use to represent Corbin's members.
I will/have offered any information I have to the one elected/Surveyed/Polled by the members at Corbin, and I will hand over all paper(Hard Copies) to the member who you chose. Which is something I never received from the Committeeman before myself.
I will remain a member paying my dues until disability takes over, and then I will pay to retired members dues from that time on. I will miss all of you, but I want you bring back the Local to Corbin, KY., you can do that by coming to meetings so that we are the voting faction/ or the most members present when it comes time to elect new officers, for Local #6477. It'll mean that some of you will have to officers, Local Chairman, President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, or Trustees.
But that's what it'll take to bring the Local to CORBIN, KY.

Christmas & New Year
It has again reached the end of the year, good & bad things have happened. The year 2007 brought a new Committeeman for the members at Corbin, the old one just wasn't doing the job, so you voted to have him removed and a new put in his place. We got new personnel hired as apprentices, several old members retired, yet we lost some due to illness, and injury. We have a new contract though we didn't like it and voted against it, we have it anyway wheather we like it or not. We got a little back-pay even though it seems to be not what we expected. But all in all I believe Corbin has come out on top, 14 apprentices now in the training program, and after the first of the year the promise of more apprentices to be hired, with at least 10 men who are due to retire or going on account of disability, the company needs to get these men on the ground training quickly. Now as the new year approaches I have been told to retire on disability by my doctor, so I asked many of the new people if one of them would be interested in the Job as Committteeman, and only one has stated they would take it, so I have recommended that person to the Local Protective Board in Erwin, TN. Local #6477, and I am in hopes that all of you will back this person up. I recommended Rebecca Gardner to replace me upon my leaving due to the injury I received June 6th 2006.
So this maybe the only time I will have to wish all of you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. May God bless each and everyone of you.

Time is passing
2008 is quickly approaching, and we have no one to take my place, I need someone to step up and take the Job of Local Protective Board COMMITTEEMAN. If not the former Committeeman will take over and I don't know what will happen to this local if he does.
I in all probability will go out of service in early January 2008, if you are going to step up now is the time. I have several thing which I can download to a travel stick so you can load it onto your own computer, these items are templets which are shell time claims & grievances. All of these will help anyone who takes over in my stead, to get their feet on the ground quickly.
Contact me if you are able to and wish to take the helm.
