OAK E-Connection April 2025
I believe it’s important to begin with the most significant change in our Local. Our former President, Bill Bernal, has resigned, and our First Vice President, Kristina Peterson, has taken on the role of President. Sam Wilkins has stepped into the position of First Vice President. Additionally, our former Treasurer, John Parrott, has resigned, and Nancy Kallas has accepted the role. It is fitting that these changes took place during Women’s History Month. All three women have eagerly and enthusiastically embraced their new positions.
Compliance Checks
The Union is aware of the excessive gate checks, audits, and uniform compliance checks. We want to make it clear that although the Company has the right to “manage,” we find it unacceptable that the frequency and blatant disregard for our work group is being targeted. With that being said, we encourage you to take the following measures. In addition to filling out a LINK form on your IEFB, the Union would like to gather as much data as possible. Please take some extra time to submit your experience to the Union
Deceived, Devalued, Disrespected
