The Local has received notice of the Company's intent to create schedules longer than past practice of 6 weeks in some groups.  It is also our understanding that 4-10s could be affected in those groups.  The Company has the right to cancel the 4-10s with notice.  This change is being fought and we are currently waiting on additonal information.  We are also in contact with all other affected Locals to fight this change with an united front.  We will update you as soon as information is available.
