Brothers and Sisters,

Today’s negotiations went a lot like yesterday. The financial articles went back and forth, and it was a long day at the table. We will be at it again first thing tomorrow morning. We remain steadfast about providing a contract that reflects the value of Local S6 shipbuilders. Thank you all again for your continued support. United we are strong.

In Solidarity,
