After these 2 members are out of the pool, we will go back to normal bidding. NEW BUSINESS President Anderson appointed James Angel to the safety equipment team. New information from an old arbitration case was presented to the board concerning an upcoming arbitration. President Anderson will get more information from Don Opatka and he also asked the board to review the information as well to be discussed at the July board meeting. President Anderson discussed a new ‘Arbitration Database’ that gives information on any old arbitration cases, the arbitrator, decisions, etc. He feels it may be beneficial for our union to have access to this database.
