Financial Secretary

Mike Palmer

I wish all of our active and retired members a safe and happy holiday season. Please call a retiree and say Hi and see if they need anything.

With some newly elected officers and committee persons, I’d like to explain some of the finances. Lost time is only paid for time lost in the plant for authorized union business approved by the President. Mileage is paid only to the driver of the vehicle. Taxi fare is only paid between the airport and hotel, not for personal use. A receipt must be attached to a voucher for reimbursement. A receipt must be brought back from the hotel and put with the hotel payment voucher. This confirms your presence at the event.

When going to Black Lake, the International suggests buying a small amount of gas and bring a receipt back. This also verifies your presence.

Nothing can be purchased without the approval of the President ($100.00 or less). Any purchase over $100.00 must be approved by the executive board and the membership. A receipt must be attached to a voucher for payment. The International wants us to pay a vendor directly whenever possible.
