Brothers and Sisters,

The Union and the Company have mutually extended the February 3^rd contract deadline in an effort to allow ample time to continue our negotiations in a productive manner. The parties will continue to meet with the goal of negotiating a fair agreement which can be recommended by your Union committee and ratified by the members.

Please continue to work safely and hold yourself to our high IBEW standards. I am proud of our members and I appreciate your support as we bargain for your rights and benefits. Please check our web site often for updates.

Thank you all,

Ed Mobsby
