1st Annual CSIA Labor-Management Meeting

Louisville, KY

1^st Annual CSIA Labor-Management Meeting

After a successful meeting in French Lick with some of our area Union Representatives it was decided that a formal Labor-Management Meeting would be of benefit to everyone involved. International Vice President for the Central States Conference, Michael Hickey, took it upon himself to plan a structured forum of union representatives and our contractors so we can work together to resolve issues of mutual concern, improve relations and address problems outside the scope of the collective bargaining agreement. This meeting is not for grievances or individual issues, but rather focuses on broader, systemic concerns.

Details are as follows:

Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Airport
2735 Crittenden Drive
Louisville, KY 40209
