Sisters and Brothers,
The Company has notified the Union that, due to a rash of vandalism and copper theft, Duke Energy will be installing cameras in certain substations. The Company does not believe that the thefts are internal, but be advised, these cameras will be operable at all times so it's imperative that we continue doing our jobs safely and efficiently. Thank you.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the attached MOU regarding the seniority rules governing Field Service Technicians in the Line Department. These seniority rules mirror the Street Light Tech language from the 2002 Memorandum of Changes. Thank you and please continue working safely.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the attached MOU regarding Line Apprentices. Because the Company implemented a new safety rule that changed the qualifications for Designated Observer and thereby restricts the pool of apprentices qualified to serve on the NTLC, the Union and Company agreed to limit the amount of times an apprentice could be compelled in a calendar year.
Sisters and Brothers,
You either have, or you soon will, receive the attached funding notification in the mail regarding your retirement benefits. Because our retirement plans are covered by ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) Duke Energy is legally required to provide an annual funding notification to all participants of their plans.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the attached MOU regarding the elimination of certain jobs in the Meter Reading Department and Reverse Severance opportunities for some positions in each region. Thank you and please continue working safely.
