time to support his wife that has been hospitalized. I
send this petition to all if you could work a day off trade, or donate
annual leave, it would be greatly appreciated. This Robertson family

June 12, 2008 Local 36 and the Department are pleased to announce that we have come to an agreement on staffing of transport units, that preserves our current work schedule. Local 36 would also like to recognize the efforts of AFC's Schultz, Jeffery and Sa'Adah and DFC Baker for their commitment to finding a solution and working tirelessly to this end. We would also like to thank Chief Rubin for his Leadership, without his support and cooperation it is doubtful that an agreement could have been reached.
