 2010-2012 Election Results

Election Results have been posted both on the Elections Page and on the Union 1 Communicator

 

 

Voluntary Programs

Two new voluntary pilot programs will be introduced in the near future. They are as follows:

 

 

Free & Clear – This program provides a tobacco cessation program and nicotine replacement therapy ( NRT) at no charge. More information will follow and the program will become effective 1-1-09.

 

Best Doctors – This program connects employees to independent experts to perform a comprehensive review and second opinion of a catastrophic or serious medical condition at no charge. This program will be introduced in the November time frame.

 

 

Pension Statements

Please review your pension statements each year. Some of our members have discovered that their pension amounts to be received on their normal retirement dates have decreased since last year. It is crucial that you review these statements and all benefit deductions on your checks.
 

Attention

Please make sure that you check your Beneficiaries online. Print a hard copy for your records. It is also important that you pay attention to any Loans that you may have. Check your pay stubs regardless of direct deposit to ensure proper payment.
  

 

Northrop Grumman 800 Emergency Number

The company emergency information line used to announce facility closings related to weather or other unforeseen circumstances is 800-995-4318. The Communicator phone line (410-765-6464) previously used was discontinued on June 15, 2008.

 

Constitution & By Laws Change

A Constitution & By-Law change was made, effective on October 10, 2006 at the Annual Membership meeting of the S.E.A. By a vote of 92 For and 10 Against, the motion passed to make the following change. Two members did not vote and there were 104 members in attendance.

 
Page 18 - Article 111 – Voting Quorum

FROM 

Section 1
Twenty-five (25) Council members, entitled to vote, shall constitute a quorum at any Council Meeting.

TO
Section 1
Thirty percent (30%) of total Council members, entitled to vote, shall constitute a quorum at any Council Meeting.
 
This change is more in line with the number of Council members. Thanks to the Constitution & By-Law Committee for their hard work.

 

60-Plus Years and Surviving

In 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt was on his second of what would be an unprecedented four term presidency.  The Yankees won their third successive World Series in a four game sweep, "what's new," of that year's victim, the Chicago Cubs.  Bread sold for $.09 per pound, the minimum wage hovered at $.25 an hour, and gas held stable at $.19 per gallon.  Spencer Tracy received the Academy Award for Best Actor in, "Boy's Town," Betty Davis won Best Actress in, "Jezebel," and the Best Picture was, "You Can't Take it With You."

 

 

You Can't Take It With You

How appropriate.  In June 1938, professional employees working for Westinghouse Electric Company were told basically the same thing, when their salaries were cut by 10%.

 

This across-the-board action by Westinghouse created discontent from Pittsburgh to Baltimore and spawned the first Bargaining Committee in 1938, which consisted of six engineers.  The creation of this committee subsequently resulted in the "birth" / certification of the Salaried Employees Association, S.E.A., on June 13, 1939.
