•Any trial period that we would propose to undertake would be ONLY a trial period.

•A Vote on the matter would be a ballot vote by giving all members an opportunity to vote, as opposed to a hand vote at a meeting, which could potentially exclude those who are not present.

•This is meant to be a fair treatment of the issues by giving all members the opportunity to vote. Questions and comments are welcome from all.

CONCON• Change! By our nature we are oftentimes hesitant to

change.• Every time you go to work it is for 48 hours, resulting in

a longer continuous block of time away from your family.

• May cause more stress with family routines initially.• Both days of a weekend would be worked 9 times per

year• Second of 2 shifts could be more demanding if a busy

first shift occurred.• Almost all mandates would mean working a 72.
