ELECTRONIC CHECK STUB UPDATE~During our contract negotiations session this week we discussed the "mandatory electronic check stub." After discussing the issue with the DGM at the negotiations table the parties agreed: the "kiosk" has the capabilities to offer the possibility to perform great things. The technology provides access to members for a paperless way of calculating your finances. BUT IT IS YOUR CHOICE! So from hence forth when payroll comes to your location to demonstrate the product, YOU CAN CHOOSE IF THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! -Jackie Jeter (4/22/12)
