SUMMER SHUTDOWN PERIOD: The UAW-GM National Agreement provides that
Local Management must notify the Shop Committee during February of each year if a
Summer Shutdown is to occur and which two weeks it will be. As of Friday, March 5,
2010, Management stated they didn’t know!
We wrote Group Policy Grievance #C-1145627 on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 and charged
Management with a violation of Paragraphs (202) (a), (b), and (c) of the 2009 Modifications as amended! “Shutdown Language”
On Monday, March 8, 2010, Management served us with information citing there would be NO summer shutdown weeks this year, therefore, employees will NOT be required to reserve any of their vacation entitlement.
On Friday, February 26, 2010, we reached an agreement with Management to extend the Vacation Application Period two weeks, til Friday March 12, 2010. Therefore, don’t forget to fill out your request before this Friday March 12, 2010. Management is still required to notify employees if their request has been honored no later than Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Don’t forget to get a signed copy of your approved Vacation Time Off.

ESCALATOR INFORMATION: Five days after the main lobby up escalator was repaired, the annual State of Ohio Safety
Inspection revealed structural cracks in 32 flights of the escalator steps. Repairs will be expedited, but are expected to take several weeks. The main lobby down escalator is also down for annual inspection and as soon as needed repairs are completed they will be reinspected and restarted!

DON’T FORGET: To make your applications for 63-A & B and shift preference moves you may desire and get a copy of your request.

SINCE THERE WILL BE NO TWO WEEK SHUTDOWN: There is, therefore, no need to make an application to work!
