Sisters and Brothers,
System Council U8 and Duke Energy met several times at the bargaining table this past week and exchanged multiple counterproposals. Although nothing has been resolved, slow progress is being made towards a new working agreement. We will meet again next week, starting Monday, to discuss changes to the PGO Line Apprentice program.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the attached Union and Company proposal packages. The parties will be back in Wildwood on Monday with plans to meet at the table on Tuesday.
Sisters and Brothers,
IBEW Local Union 1393 and Duke Energy avoided a work stoppage by returning to the table and reaching a 5-year agreement, which was then ratified by membership. This has been a long and tenuous process for everyone involved, but through hard work and determination, a new working agreement was secured.
Sisters and Brothers,
On Thursday, June 26, 2025, we tragically lost one of our own. Brother Monty Trickey (Equipment Operator, DeLand) unexpectedly passed away. Please keep Monty's family, his friends, and our DeLand brothers in your prayers.
