Our Feb. 3 chapter meeting was informative and engaging. We updated members on issues affecting our chapter and the union as a whole. Members asked questions — and received immediate answers — on a broad range of topics including contractual rights and the union's health care rebate. In case you didn’t know, the health care rebate is a unique benefit available only to our chapter members.
