Brothers and Sisters,
I am sure most of you have heard that Daryl passed away on November the 18th. The company should be putting out something very soon but for those readers who may not have access to that I thought something should be posted here regarding the Celebration of Life for Daryl.
This will be held Friday, November 26th at 2:00 p.m. at the Italian Hall, 4065 6th Ave. in Port Alberni. Please note that this venue has changed and there may still be some notices coming out that indicate that it is at Hansen Hall. It was decided today that a larger hall would be needed and was changed after some earlier notices had gone out.
We are all deeply saddened at the loss of a great friend and a great union activist who fought hard for many years for the membership of Local 592. I will miss him greatly.
As per his family's request, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Daryl to the BC Transplant Society, http://www.transplant.bc.ca.
In solidarity,
Tim Thompson

Hi All
Just an update on what has transpired since our meetings in the mill with Kevin Clarke early last week. Following similar meetings in all the Catalyst mills the Presidents, some of their Wage Delegates, Dave Schaub and Don Boucher had a conference call to discuss our plan moving forward. After lengthy discussion all the other locals agreed to go to their memberships and allow them to vote on whether or not they want their Wage Delegates to negotiate a new Collective Agreement. They also agreed with our position that all the locals conduct these votes on the same day. Due to the other locals needing time to post notices and the National Convention later this week, the date that was chosen is September 30.
So we will be postponing our vote that was scheduled for tomorrow, Monday September 13th and will be voting along with the other locals on the 30th.
Due to this extremely short notice we will still conduct the 2 pm meeting for any of our members that wish to attend. We will have a brief discussion and answer questions but no vote will be held. At 7 pm we will have a brief discussion and then begin our General Meeting .
Thank You
Jim
