USW Local #10-86 Will Stay On Job, As Talks With Merck's West Point Management Continue. . . .

It seems that the USW will stay on the job without a formal contract, in about an ninety minutes' time -- thus repeating the same narrative history, of exactly three years ago -- from back on May 1, 2013.

It also seems that contract talks continue -- and that is a hopeful sign. [I simply changed the date -- on my graphic at right, from back then.] We will keep you posted, but do check the Local's website.

. . . .Continue to work. We continue to talk. And If necessary, prepare to walk.

Stay tuned. . .

President Dan Bangert

Your 2016 Negotiating Committee. . . .

This is just how it all unfolded -- three years ago, tonight. Now you know -- as we wish the workers' families the best. So. . . sleep well, you buckaroos, and buckarettes. . . .
