Lifeguards,
I hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. Even though winter is approaching, the Union is working for you, ensuring that the 2017 season can be our best one yet. The beach reps and executive board have been meeting monthly, discussing working conditions, lamenting on the end of the 2016 season while always looking forward to the 2017 season. I have made recommendations to management on improvements to our uniforms and hope that we can continue our relationship with Tommy Bahama. As for the outerwear, most of the feedback I have received on our current gear is that it is too warm and does not retain its ability to be water resistant after being washed. A solution that will be discussed at our next meeting it a possible switch to a fleece lined, full zip sweatshirt, lighter pants, and a dedicated rain shell poncho similar to what was issued back in 2001. Please share your opinions with your beach representative to be presented at the meeting. <image.png><image.png>
I am pleased to announce that the long overdue capital improvement at Robert Moses Field 5 is now underway. I am uncertain if it will be completed in time for summer. In the photo below you can (hopefully) see that the showers have been demolished in preparation for the expansion of the building's footprint.
If you currently possess a WSI certification, or would like to obtain certification to be an instructor for the Learn to Swim program, contact Jennifer.Andujar@parks.ny.gov The program will be expanded for the 2017 season and it would be great to have the experience and professionalism of the JBLC involved with this program.
Our annual holiday gathering will be held in January, details will be discussed at our December meeting.
The next beach representative meeting is scheduled for Tuesday December 13th at 7:00PM, NYSUT Union Offices, 1000 Woodbury Road, Woodbury, NY
In Solidarity, Derek Angermaier President JBLC
