Utah, Idahoe, and Montana Vice President Vacancy

July 12, 2021

Brothers and Sisters,

Our brother and Utah, Idaho, and Montana Vice President, John Taurone, resigned is position as an officer of the local.  John left Goodman Communication Services for personal reasons last June 25th.  He also had to resign from the position of Utah, Idaho, and Montana Vice President on June 30th for personal reasons as well.  John served the local in this position for many years with CWA Local 7590 and CWA Local 7790 before we merged locals.  I had the privilage to work with John as both a Vice President for both CWA Local 7590 and 7790 and as President of our local, CWA Local 7590.  John has been didicated and loyal in representing the members within the jurisdiction of Utah, Idaho, and Montana and will be missed by these members as well as myself, and the rest of the E-Board.

Not only has John Taurone left Goodman Communication Services for personal reasons, many other Salt Lake City based members have left Goodman Communication Services for personal reasons as well.  In fact the local now only has three represented employess for Goodman Communication Services based in Salt Lake City.  

Because of this the E-Board has appointed, per our locals by-laws, Bill Potts, Colorado & Wyoming Vice President to represent the three represented employees based in Salt Lake City on all grievances and all other union matters for the local.

Also per our locals by-laws, any member in good standing that is based within the Utah, Idaho, and Montana either indicates written opposition to the appointment or an interest in being a candidate for the position, an election shall be held within (60) sixty days of the appointment.  All written letters of of opposition to the E-Boards appointment or written letter of interest by any member in good standing with the local must be mailed and postmarked within ten days (July 22, 2021) of this posting and should be mailed to the address below;
