Christmas Comes Early

Christmas came early for eleven members of LIUNA Local 252, Port Angeles, WA area.  One of the areas best contractors committed a Master Agreement Contract violation and was willing to make their error good.  Each of the members received a check for $1,363.64 on December 17, 2010, making the money a great holiday addition. 

Business Manager Don McLeod noted "It was great to have a contractor that was willing to step up the plate and take care of business.  The contractor was more than willing to negotiate a reasonable settlement.  The contractor was very responsible."  Pictured to right of the ten members who received checks is Paul Ingham, Field Representative for the Port Angeles area.
