March 19, 2020. 5:00pm

Talks with GE are not going well.  The GE Riverworks Plant in Lynn is currently an unsafe working environment.

The Company’s response to those that have medical conditions that make the virus even more dangerous are told to use their vacation and sick time and file a short-term disability claim if they require more time out.

Late this morning we heard back from GE.  Discussions are ongoing as the situation changes frequently. We are still pursuing concerns and questions.  However, we wanted to update the membership as soon as possible.

Q: How will payment of employees be handled in the case of a facility shutdown?

A: Temporary Lack of Work (TLOW) with layoff benefits, including continued healthcare coverage per the benefit program.

Tomorrow's March 17th  Monthly Membership Meeting is postponed until further notice.
