Negotiations Update #29

November 3, 2003

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

First, the IBEW Local #965 Office and the Negotiating Committee would like to thank all of you who joined us for the Solidarity Rallies held over the last two weeks. We want to thank all of our #965 brothers and sisters who attended the rallies in Fond du Lac, Janesville and Madison. Especially those who made it to more than one rally and former IBEW Local #965 members who were in attendance. We would also like to thank our speakers who delivered such powerful and upbeat speeches.

Janesville - Steelworkers Union Marshall Baun, IBEW Local #890 B.M./F.S. Norbert Jarzynski.

Madison - IBEW Local #2304 B.M./F.S. David Poklinkoski, David Nack a
Professor with the U.W. School for Workers, and Jim Cavanaugh, President of the South Central Federation of Labor.

Fond du Lac - Our own B.M./F.S. Shawn Reents.

There are also many others that we would like to thank for their
participation in these very worthwhile events. All together there were an
estimated 380 attendees at all 3 rallies.  A pretty good number for an event that was scheduled in a short period of time.

On November 3rd, 2003 the Local 965 negotiating committee met to resume negotiations.  We met as our committee only to work on the pending negotiations.  We discussed where we are currently at this point in this negotiation process.  We discussed what has been negotiated so far and what has been offered to date by both parties.  We spent the majority of time on wages and the EPO medical plan.  We looked at what it will take to get these negotiations done and to deliver a fair and equitable package to the members.  We will be returning to the bargaining table with the Company on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2003 at the Labor Temple.
