The election for local lodge officers is complete. We would like to thank all the candidates for volunteering to serve the membership of this union. All candidates
brought tremendous qualifications and enthusiasm to the table. This was truly a remarkable example of solidarity with approximately 680 union members participating
in the voting process! Please take a moment to thank the tellers that worked the polls in this election for a job well done. Some sacrificed many hours of personal time away from their family to tally the votes deep into the morning hours.

Message from the President of LL743

The Department of labor has approved the application for unemployment for furlough days for Hamilton Sundstrand bargaining unit employees only. Salary and non-union employees do not qualify for this benefit. To qualify for this money (approx $103) you cannot work more than 32 hours in a Sunday through Saturday work week. Forms will be available from human resources by the end of next week. Payroll must accumulate the data to see who worked 32 hours or less. I hope this information is helpful.

Mark Hebert

Unemployment questions for furlough days-

If you open a claim this week with the CT work share program you begin the 12 month unemployment cycle effective 4-12-09 to 4-11-10. You can then
collect unemployment for up 12 months for 26 weeks. If you request paymentfor any furlough day it will affect your "annual unemployment compensation"
but because you are continuing to work after the furlough day (s) you are eligible to open an additional claim on 4-12-2010. In the unfortunate
situation where the company lays off employees their unemployment claim will begin on 4-12-09 (assuming that they claimed a furlough day for 4-13-09) and
will be eligible for 26 weeks minus furlough days claimed. So people shouldn't be impacted for the furlough days in the next 6 months if they get laid off.
