Business Representative for Centerpoint HL&P
I have been a business representative for Local 66 since 1997 and a member of the Local 66 for over 30 years. Prior to my job here I worked for what is now called CenterPoint Energy, my classification was a Distribution Head Lineman. My main area of responsibility is the employees at CenterPoint Energy H.L.&P., but I proudly represent all Local Union 66 members.

S.T.I. payout for 2009
Many of our members have been calling in to find out about the S.T.I. payout. Below are the payout numbers that were relayed to me by Mr. Ron Pope, Manager H.R. Labor Relations.

Rick Childers


Rick here are the answers to the two questions you asked just before lunch regarding STI:

1. What is this year’s STI payout for the bargaining unit employees? For the 2009 Plan year the Electric Operations group STI achievement was 121%. For employees represented by IBEW 66 that means instead of receiving a 1% target payout, they will receive a 1.21% payout on eligible earnings.

2. How is the STI calculated for an employee who transfers from one group to another within the year? If an active employee has a change in position between October 3rd and December 31st of the plan year which has an impact on the STI target, the change in target will not be made until January of the next year. Changes in position occurring prior to October 3rd will result in the employee’s STI payout being based on the achievement of the group into which he transferred.
