NW ENERGY ISSUES BEST AND FINAL OFFER
UNION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS YES VOTE

On March 29, 2010, the Company hosted a conference call with the U26 negotiating committee.  The Company said that they were sending a notice to the Union that the last contract offer is their best and final offer.  The Union received the notice later that day.  The Union had asked to bring in a Mediator to help resolve differences, but the Company was not willing to try.  The Union negotiating committee has voted to send the package out for a vote.  They feel that the offer is the best available at this time.  The committee also voted to recommend a yes vote.  Business Manager, Steve Miller will be sending out a letter with some information to members.  Each local will be holding meetings to discuss options and vote.
