5/7/20: See this page under current notices for winner of State Scholarship.
4/26:20 See below which includes a video for some latest virus from Wyff4. This is for Greenville SC with more about other areas on the site.
4/20/20: More on Covid-19 for veterans. See "Important Stuff section" below. I found this site particularly useful as in regards to the cemetery. I also did a will today through an advertised product of Dave Ramsey. Use it or not. It is Mama bear legal forms.
4/19/20: Another website see "Important Stuff." Perhaps wyff4 shows this as well. Anyway as of today 4,246 cased and 119 deaths in SC
4/16/20: See below under "Important Stuff" for the latest on the virus from WYFF4. Download the App or subscribe as I did for the latest news on this subject.
4/16/20: Michael sent me an updated memorandum signed 2/23/20 regarding the 7:01 rule where a regular employee will get paid for eight hours if he works only 7 hours and 1 minute. To see the memorandum look under the section "IMPORTANT STUFF." If you have any questions you can call Michael.
4/15/20: Michael sent me a reminder handout that the EAP is here to help. See the handout under important stuff below.
4/12/20: Michael sent me on 4/2 " Leave regarding the 1st Corona virus response act. See below under "important Stuff Covid-19." Also, in regards to video conferencing, there is an alternative for those that don't do technology well. With smart phones simply make a call than add additional people by pressing the menu at the top right during the call. Probably most people knew this but I just recently discovered that my phone does this. I don't know how many people you can add. Let me know if there are limitations.

4/7/20: See below under "IMPORTANT STUFF COVID-19" for two letters submitted to me by Michael Hamiltion that perhaps should be carried in case you are stopped by the police on the way to or from work.
4/7/20: There is a lot in the news concerning "ZOOM video conferencing." I won't say one way or the other whether you should use it for you next video conference. I have used it and it is a good quality easy to use app. However, there are issues zoom is working on to fix. A video conference to maybe replace your e-board meeting this month might be your only option with the government lock-down. I also use DUO app, owned by google, all the time with my daughter mostly. That app allows conferencing up to 11 people at a time. I haven't tried it for that purpose. There is also Skype, owned by Microsoft, and messenger and whatsup owned by facebook. Pick one and I am sure you will find uses for it well beyond this pandemic. Let me know if this is helpful.
4/1/2020: Webmaster: The Coronavirus is serious stuff and if you are looking at the news there isn't any abatement yet. I looked into Apps that allow people to get together and talk as well as see each other on their phones and computers. These Apps are simple to use and many of them have free versions that would satisfy all but the most demanding needs. For example: Zoom app has a fee version that allows up to 100 participants at one time to talk to each other for forty minutes at a time. I have used the Zoom app a couple times to talk to several family members at a time. It is sort of a reunion time. I suggest that Union Officers use this App or another video conferencing app for the time being to conduct some meetings such as E-board meetings so to eliminate any possibility of transmission of the virus. I even think the use of this tool could be expanded and become an integral part of union operations. Perhaps conferencing could be set up at times with management or grievants. It could also be a training tool to help stewards with grievances. A little imagination and I am sure these video conferencing Apps can become an integral part of union business enabling face to face between two or more people when time and distance and a virus make the physical one on one or group meeting to be impossible. However, users of this Zoom App or any other App may have privacy concerns. Consider this article I was sent concerning zoom from a concerned member. Zoom article on market watch. on.mktw.net/3dGLXKV
