Teamsters Local 72 is pleased to
announce that it has reached an
agreement with the NYSTA to change
from the American Arbitration
Association to the Cornell Labor
Institute for processing of
grievances. What this means for you
is that grievances should be
processed more efficiently and the
amount of time from filing to
decision should decrease
dramatically. Please contact us if
you have any questions. (6/09)
The
CBA is posted on the website(6/09)
Members
should be receiving a booklet about our Welfare Fund Benefits. If
you did not receive a copy

Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Some of you may have heard that the TPM
Civil Service Test fee has increased by $15. Apparently, someone
in New York Division
is telling everyone that the “Union” is responsible for the increase.
This statement is ludicrous. While we are honored that some people
believe that Local 72 influences Civil Service’s fee schedule, we do
not. Civil Service sets its fees and they do not consult Local 72. I
hope this clears up any confusion. Please contact a LOCAL 72 rep if you
have any questions. Thank you.
Fraternally yours,
Local 72

Local 72 is pleased to
announce the following changes to the Welfare Fund:
(1) Step-children are now
covered under the Local 72 Welfare Fund. Eligibility for coverage
under the Fund is the same as for the NYSTA's major medical program.
You will need to provide a
birth certificate for
the child and a
marriage certificate
between the member and the child's natural parent.
(2) The
life insurance benefit
has been increased to $15,000.
Both changes will go into effect as of
March 1, 2009. We
are able to offer these new benefits as a result of efficient
management of the Fund and the extra allowance negotiated in the
most recent contract. Please contact your Local 72 representative if
you need additional information. (posted2/09)
As of March 1, 2009 Davis Vision is now using your
employee ID number instead of your #ss number....you will have to
reregister online with your employee ID number to log in to the
Davis Vision web site.(posted3/09)
