With the implementation of our new contract rapidly approaching, we anticipate many of you will and should be utilizing us. I accepted this new position back in November of 2009 after I was on RSV by missing the bid date when we switched to the 30 day bid schedule. I experienced first hand after 5 years of being with the company of what is was like on RSV and it was quite the eye opening experience. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed with how our RSVs were being treated and the so called "quality of life" they are subjected to. I was VERY vocal when I called our union reps and they got to know me real quick. Many contractual violations were occurring and I "fought" back and based on this, was offered the position to represent our RSVs which I gladly accepted and this position did not exist before until now.
My primary concern are the RSVs yet I have assisted many lineholders as well. My goals are to help educate (knowledge is power), fight for what is right, restore your faith in your union and hopefully make positive changes for our RSVs and the only way this is possible is if we "hear" your voice. If I, or the others do not hear from you, we cannot make the necessary changes or assist you. We all need to unite and become strong!
I am excited to now introduce to you your local LEC RSV Reps-for IAD and CLT, you have Denise Elmore Jackson and Ann Adam. Both are based out of CLT and both are on RSV and can very much relate to the issues you may be encountering. Nikki Quinones is your rep in ORD and interestingly enough, she voluntarily bids RSV since January of 2010 and has been with Mesa for over 2 years.
I am currently looking for LEC RSV Reps for PHX, CVG and GO!. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me via email or by phone.
Your local LEC RSV Reps are in place to assist you in any way possible and I know they look forward to helping you in any way- feel free to contact and utilize them. We look forward to hearing from you and again, we cannot help you if you do not make your voice heard. Fly safe!
Thank you,
