IBEW Local 2323’s Riding Club and Teamsters 251 volunteered with NEARI this morning at D’Abate School in Providence. The LU 2323 RC, along with Providence Police escorted the NEARI Children’s Fund Gingerbread Express to bring a truckload of gifts personalized for each child. The Gingerbread Express tradition has gone on for the past 28 years and this program has embraced thousands of needy children.

It is with a heavy heart IBEW Local 2323 was informed of the passing of retired member, & former IBEW Local 2323 President Matt Gannon.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Brother Gannon’s family and friends during this most difficult time.

A few pictures from this year’s annual Feed A Family event! It amazes me every year seeing how many people come and volunteer their time to make someone’s holiday season a little easier. We fed another 300 families this year and none of that would be possible without your donations and time. A huge thank you to you all!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Election Day. Please make every effort to get to the polls and exercise your right to vote! Here is a list of IBEW Local 2323’s endorsed candidates for the 2018 Election.

Endorsement List – 2018

Ed,

The Company will begin using data from the GPS/Telematics device on the vehicles to report incidents of speeding greater than ten miles an hour over the posted speed limits. Much like the Idling report, this information will be shared with the supervisor daily. The Company hopes that the feedback to the technician regarding the speeding will result in safer driving habits. It is expected this feature will be utilized on or around November 5, 2018.

Future reports may include incidents of hard breaking and fast acceleration, both these poor driving habits can be an indicator of distracted driving.  The Company is also reviewing forms of feedback which may include direct feedback to the technician on the tablet regarding an employees own driving habits.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Joe
