Workloads After Vaccine Mandate

• The CMG branch is having meetings about this issue and workloads and is monitoring.
• A message about shortages will go out in the next stewards newsletter.
• National workloads can impact us and vice versa so this is a national CMG issue.

• Leftover hoodies will be distributed to those who did not receive the initial email, qualify, and filled it in late.
