EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR TO SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT
BILL
WHY DO WE NEED THE E.F.C.A.?
Joining
together in a union to bargain for health care,
pensions, fair wages and better working conditions
is the best opportunity working people have to get
ahead.
Today, good jobs are vanishing and health care
coverage and retirement security are slipping out of
reach. Only 38 percent of the public says their
families are getting ahead financially and less than
a quarter believes the next generation will be
better off.
But workers who belong to unions earn 28 percent
more than nonunion workers. They are 52 percent more
likely to have employer-provided health coverage and
nearly three times more likely to have
guaranteed pensions.
All workers should have the freedom to
decide for themselves whether to form unions to
bargain for a better life.

Click here tell Sen. Specter he’s letting down
working families
and
he must allow the Senate to vote on the Employee
Free Choice Act.
Vice President of C&M Eric Helt discloses to
employees...
AIP individual goals
not based on
individual performance.
Rather penalties raised in an attempt to coerce 614
into participating
in their "The Emperor has Beautiful Clothes" story.
The AIP penalties were raised
so they could be dropped
IF 614 co chaired
the United Way campaign.
Local 614 has always urged members to participate in
supporting their communities and organizations in
need.
The United Way campaign is one
tool Exelon uses to make state officials and
communities believe they care.
Image is everything, even when it's 180 degrees from
reality. Pat 'em on the back with one hand
while .....
Holding employees hostage....The Exelon Way!
(see joke of the day)
DID HE DO IT AGAIN IN WEST GROVE?????
DID YOU KNOW????
That despite a higher
than average number of storms, Buck Co. customer
outages dropped 11%?
and non-storm outages dropped 34%?
Bucks Co. Employee penalties for AIP
ROSE to 20%?
Exelon / PECO tracks exposure in the press?
They need this info to work their image in the
public eye....
JOKE OF THE DAY........
Knock knock...
Who's there?....
"Challenging and rewarding workplace"
hahahahahahahahahaha
GRATITUDE
Per the
dictionary: Grat-i-tude. Noun. From the Latin
gratus grateful.
Per Exelon: Thanks for making us successful and for
being safe,
we're raising your AIP bonus penalties to
20%!
Words and Actions.......There
have been several Exelon articles and aspens stating
what a great job the employees of PECO have done and
how grateful management is for your hard work.
They're just words.
Their real feelings show in the new penalties for
your bonus money.
(In 2007, John W.
Rowe raked in $19,491,556 in total compensation
according to the SEC. According to the AFL-CIO's
calculation method*, this CEO raked in $11,595,928
in total 2007 compensation.)
Despite a drop in OSHA recordables (18% PECO
connection 1-21-09) and a 2008 safety performance
that will rank in the top 10% of the utility
industry and approach "best-in-class level" (PECO
connection 1-21-09) management sees fit to reach
deeper into the employees pockets as a way of
showing thanks. PECO's COO recently
said thanks
for the first rate response to recent storms (1st
quartile response for the storm magnitude).
But that was all he did, just say
it.
words and actions.....
PECO Energy Management holding members to contract!
Local 15's contract!!
DelChester
Aerial Lines Management is distributing literature
stating vacation rules members will be held to and
passing them off as LU 614 contract rules.
THEY ARE NOT!
Perhaps not sure where they work,
Aerial Lines management is holding LU 614 members in
DelChester to an agreement made in Chicago, IL.
This vacation issue has been dealt with several
times in the past through the grievance process and
won by LU 614. MYC?... see joke o' the day
above.
Halloween tip for 2009....dress as MYC
No one will know who or what your are!
USE YOUR WEINGARTEN RIGHTS!
Too many members are
going into fact finding meetings
WITH OUT ASKING FOR A SHOP STEWARD!
DO NOT trust supervision or management to
treat you fairly.
The "Managing Your Culture" initiative of Exelon is
not going to protect you.
