Picket duty sign up sheets

Brothers and Sisters,

As we stand together in this critical moment, we must prepare for every possibility, including the potential for a work stoppage. While our goal is not to strike, we are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to secure the fair treatment, wages, and working conditions we deserve. Our strength lies in our unity, and now is the time to demonstrate our commitment to one another and to our cause.

To ensure we are organized and effective, we are beginning to coordinate our picketing strategy. Attached is the Picket Duty Sign-Up Sheet, where you can select your preferred shift. We ask that all members review the schedule, choose a time that works best for you, and return the completed form to a CAT team member, shop steward, or the union office no later than Monday 17MAR2025(extension from the previous date).

A strong and visible picket line sends a powerful message not just to Merck, but to the community and beyond. It shows that we are united, determined, and unwilling to accept anything less than what we rightfully deserve. Every voice matters, and every hour spent on the line strengthens our cause.

Let’s stand firm, support one another, and make it clear: we don’t want to strike, but if we must, we will be ready.

In Solidarity,
USW 10-00086 CAT TEAM
