Friday, May 21st Update
We had our meeting at the Orange County location and it is a very nice facility which is well kept and clean. It is very easy to access and about as centrally located as we could hope to accomplish right off of Interstate 5 and Beach Blvd. I'm not sure but I believe when we have had all the meetings for 2010, we might be having all our meetings at the Orange County location. If anyone is opposed to this idea, please send in your comment or send me an e mail so I can pass it on or just call the hall and voice your opinion.
Work in Edmonton is finally at the point where they are sending out L.M.O.s to people who are on the list to work on the Shell Refinery Project. All the Temporary Foreign Workers on the list have been divided by the three contractors on the job.
We are in the process of finding a central location for some of our guys to stay so we can all be together and not spread out throughout the area. This will make it easier for us to look after each other and perhaps negotiate a good rate for a hotel. I will put all the hotel information in the next update as soon as we have secured the location
It is my understanding that they will need more people than they have on their list of people who are interested in working on the project. If we can't provide them with enough manpower, they will be forced to bring workers in from the Philippines and other locations to fill the calls. As it is now, they need about 400 Temporary Foreign Workers and I know we have more than enough people out of work in the U.S. to fill the call but some people are apprehensive about working in Canada because they have a false impression it is too far to go. The job is only about 300 miles north of Sweet Grass, Montana and is closer to Los Angeles than Chicago, Illinois
Work in Idaho has begun on the chip plant and they will be calling for travelers very likely by next week.
Work in Saint Louis is going to require about 100 travelers by the end of this month.
Work in Hawaii will require travelers in June unless some unforseen problem prevents that from happening.
Work in our territory will be at the point where we will need travelers next year but for now, we will need to have a lot of our guys on the road.
We have four contract negotiation meetings scheduled for next week starting on Monday.
