Reports:
President:
·
Holiday
Party – Bob
Stevens has agreed to workers going over to CR Smith during party once during
one of their breaks – he would like to have one controller on break (from
each Area) stay in the facility, however, so they can be called back quickly if
needed. SR/IT will leave their cell phone #’s with the Areas so that they can
call if people at the party are needed.
Also, someone needs to check
on cost and availability of shuttle/van to take people to and from party
(American Airline’s van?).
There is seating now for
140. The museum didn’t have our reservation, for some reason, for 10 extra
tables. Craig McFadden is looking into renting 10 tables elsewhere.
There is a meeting next
Tuesday to put together goody bags, centerpieces.

meeting.
·
FSA Report
– PP opened
discussion re: Flexible Spending Accounts for Health care & dependent care ($250
per yr. min., $3,000 & $5,000 per yr. max. respectively). The money is deducted

getting a new server for the office.

oral grievance to front office on Friday 11/14 on BYP 2 hour time-on-position.
BUE spent time doing BCC21 CBI/DYSIM, then 1 ˝ hours at sector. Bob Stevens
maintained that this “wasn’t a contract violation” because BCC21 training was a
non-operational duty. IT will research any existing precedents on Bob’s
opinion.

Region.
