FOSSIL STATIONS
As the
winter turns to spring we have a lot on the agenda for 2010.
Leading the way is the expiration of the Benefits Agreement on June 15,
2010.
We are
constantly keeping an eye on legislation (federal and state) affecting
the stations and our jobs. This will help keep the stations running and
benefit our families, communities and state.

On the
safety front, we are doing very well from the top of the state to the
bottom. There is always room for improvement to keep members and
equipment safe while RETURNING everyone home safely to their families.
The
MWGen Stations will have “State of the Company” meetings in April when
Ron Litzinger, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for
Edison Mission Group visits all the sites. The following is his
schedule:
April 5, 2010 Powerton and Waukegan
April 8, 2010 Fisk and Crawford
April
9, 2010 Joliet and Will County
We
finalized the Coal Plant Operator (CPO) paid lunch issue at the end of
2009 and every Fuel Handling department voted to go to the paid lunch
for 2010.
We
still have two open items from the CBA extension to finalize, the
Equipment Operator/Coal Plant Operator Accelerated Progression and the
Reduction in Force (RIF) members returned to their prior positions. We
have had multiple meetings on both of these issues.
We
have only had one meeting on the “overtime guidelines simplification”
issue, with the next meeting scheduled for April 19, 2010.
Some of our members at
Kincaid Station have been offered a Voluntary Separation Package (VSP).
We are waiting to see how many of the 19 eligible members offer to take
the package and are allowed to go.
