From Chairman Mike Bullock: Some interesting numbers from the sub council last week: There are 2876 laid off Division 1 nationwide and 847 Division 2 laid off nationwide. Lordstown assembly and Lordstown stamping are accepting EAH (extended area hire) transfers now. They need 375 people. Vice President Joe Ashton addressed the council for the first time as the new UAW Vice President over GM and Gaming. He spoke of the difficult time we have experienced in the last several years and the need to preserve jobs and bring work back into the plant in the upcoming negotiations. Elections were held in both Sub Council 6 and 2( because of the new VP) . Dale Averitt was elected as Sergeant of Arms for sub council 6 and I was re-elected as vice Chairman of sub council 2. Congratulations Dale.
