At the last bargaining session with Management, our Bargaining Team was presented with a wage proposal that was funded by our own retirement money.  While Management throughout the organization received a wage increase, they are asking us to pay our own raise by reducing what they pay for our retirement contribution by 5 cents. We continue to hear that Management needs a cost neutral first year of their proposal. 

Giving raises to Management is not cost neutral and expecting us to subsidize our own wage increase is Grinchful.

Stay tuned for upcoming events we can all participate in and ask one of your Bargaining Team members on how you can get involved in winning a fair contract. If you have any questions, please contact your Union Representative Cathy Macphail @ 206-436-6584.

“Management’s proposal to us is not acceptable and we will be bringing union members together via Zoom in the New Year!”
