The General Membership Meeting scheduled for Monday March 27th at 4:30 pm has been rescheduled due to DTE Storm #4 and its effects on our bargaining unit. We will be rescheduling thsi meeting some time in April. We hope to have a quorum. Since we resumed live membership meetings at the Union Hall we have only had two meetings with a quorum. the last one being November of 2022.

Last December we were able to reach an agreement on the 7-11 reductions at Trenton Channel and River Rouge Power Plants. It was not what we expected or what we originally agreed with management on but it was better than it could have been. We feel the MPSC rate case that didnt go DTE Energy's way was a big part of their descion to make a drastic change in the agreement we believed we had.

We are now expecting to get notification on the St Clair Power Plant 7-11 sometime in April. Because we essentually only have 2 folks considered St Clair employees this 7-11 should not be as difficult as the last one but we are fairly certain that one leader will be bumped out of their position and that is really a bad situation.









All Stores Division General Membership Meetings will be on the
4th Monday of every other month
unless otherwise indicated.
