In response to the UWUA Local 369 June 9th news release regarding their complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board related to Entergy, the Company issued the following statement.

Our focus today and every day remains on continuing to safely operate the plant, which we are doing.

We remain ready to resume discussions with Union leadership under the guidance of the mediator. When the Federal Mediator calls the parties to the table, Entergy is there. It is disappointing that Union leadership is seemingly looking to circumvent this established mediation process. The Company believes the federal mediation process is the success path to a contract that will enable employees to come back to work, which has been our goal throughout this process.

Regarding employee wages and benefits, the average employee affected by this union contract was paid more than $122,000 last year. The Company has offered guaranteed increases of 2% each year for four years. In addition, the Company agreed in writing to the Union demand for a premium health plan.

Until all the details in the Union's news release regarding the complaint are fully disclosed and understood by the Company, our detailed response to specific claims is best left to our official filing related to their complaint, which we will file with the National Labor Relations Board.
