If your location does not have one, call your unit vice president to see about implementing one.

LMC is composed of worker and employer representatives.

The LMC looks at discussing workplace issues and finding solutions. Your worker representative will participate at bi-monthly meetings, collect agenda items from workers in your location, and share information. If you identify a workplace issue like workload, process issue, etc., talk to your LMC representative.

Ask your Steward or Unit Vice President if your location has one.
