Sisters and Brothers,

The SCU8 System Committee completed another week of bargaining with Duke Energy this past week. Several proposals and counter-proposals were passed across the table and discussed. Changes to our line apprentice program took center stage for most of the past two weeks, but we were able to get several other issues resolved as well.

The Committee will be back in Wildwood meeting with the Company on Monday morning.

Thank you, and please continue working safely. For those sisters and brothers traveling out of state for storm restoration, God speed.

Fraternally yours,

Phil
