Contract Negotiations are finishing up with Batavia Streets and we
hope it will be approved soon. We are still working on this with hope
we can come to agreement soon
We have opened up the Dixon water dept contract and should start
negotiations soon. We have opened up the Naperville contract and
should start negotiations soon also.
We will have several other contract open this year and it should make
for a busy time with our cities.
Work is still slow with only a few Jry lineman calls.
Linco Ins will go up .25 on Jan 2011 but the contractor will cover it as
stated in our contract. This just shows how cost effective Linco is to
have its first increases in years.
We have scheduled new training classes so check below.
Make sure you keep up your resign. There is a change in the resign
policies. You now can e-mail, Fax , or mail in your resign every 30
days for up to 180 days before you have to come in person. This is
changed from the 90 day in person resign. We are making this
change to all who are on our books. This applies to all who are in
good standing on our books from 2/22/2010. Call in if you need to
know the last time you resigned in person.
Work Safe.
