MEMORANDUM
To: Yellow Corp. Local Unions (including YRC Freight, Holland, New Penn and
Reddaway)
From: John A.
Dear UVM Medical Center Security Officers United Members,
I am writing this to officially welcome you into an affiliation with Teamsters Local no. 597. We look forward to working with you towards the goal of a strong contract for all the officers in the department.
We are what is called a ‘general’ union.
Introducing the Extreme Temperature Worker Protection Act:
For too many years workers in Vermont have been exposed to extreme weather with little or no recourse to protect them. They are only able to seek relief after they have suffered an injury. The Extreme Temperature Worker Protection Act requires companies to take worker's safety seriously in a proactive manner.
Dear Teamster Brothers and Sisters,
We will be implementing an optional program for stewards and alternates to brush up on their knowledge, as well as for any member who would like to know more about the basics of being a Teamsters Local 597 Steward or Alternate. This program is completely optional and open to all members in good standing as well as those on withdrawal.
