Discussion Forums Are Back!:  After some recent social media discussions we have decided to give a website forum another shot.  If you log into the Union Site you should see a “Discussion Forums” link on the right side of the main menu.  Feel free to discuss what’s important to you.

East Bethel FD Auxillary Annual Waffle Breakfast:  At the request of Member Ben Uden, you’re all invited to the event this Sat 01/28/17 at the EBFD from 0800-1100.  2751 Viking Blvd NE East Bethel, MN.

Other Stuff:  Chief Shop Steward Albert Reiff and I continue to see a lot of steward waiver forms.  This means people are going into investigatory or discipline meetings without a Steward.  Please call us at 763-614-6504 if you get asked to attend a meeting or get presented with corrective action.  A huge majority of the time we can help you gain a favorable outcome.  We want you to have a witness and ally present!  Lastly, Dave Matteson asked us to spread the word about Toughbooks.  If you have one that fails, please go to the AKN and fill out a service ticket.  After that, get a yellow repair tag, write the ticket # on it and then give it to a VST or leave it in your area’s designated spot.
