On this home page, we will keep you up to date on the things happening with the United Steel Workers at the MFC Complex
 
An agreement has been reached with the Laboratory on a wage opener for 2006.  A ratification vote was held and the MFC body agreed to a 3% general wage increase.
 
Also on the ballet were  two MOA's to change the contract,  first is a change from monthly dues deductions to weekly, second is a change from using payroll numbers to using the last four digits of the Social Security Number for establishing seniority for employees hired on the same day after Feburary 1, 2005. Both of the MOA's were agreed to by the MFC body.

Some things that we are sure to incounter next year during negoiations:

The Laboratory is going to want to bring us in line with the other Union agreements with respect to the permiums we are paid(double time, 10 precent shift pay, Saturday and Sunday pay) this will be a big loss in pay to our shift workers and it will hit us all to some degree with our overtime. We will be having meeting over the next year to come up with ideas.  Please plan on coming to the meeting. 

Together we bargain, divided we beg
