“We are very disappointed with the lack of movement from the Employer.”

OUR BARGAINING TEAM: Michelle Grennan, Kimberly Matson, and Miroslava Dashkel.

Your Bargaining Team met with Management again on August 5 and 10. Unfortunately, very little progress was made towards an agreement.  

Management has begun to drag their feet as they refuse to make any meaningful movement on outstanding issues. They have outright rejected many of our proposals such as reimbursements for maintaining licensure, a clearly defined process for receiving certification pay, and a new COVID-19 hazard premium. 

Furthermore, they haven’t moved much on their original economic package that, while generous to some, includes wage DECREASES for others. When confronted about the wage reductions for some members Management claims it was never their intention, however, they continue to include it in their economic proposals!

We will have no choice but to take action if the Employer continues this behavior when we return to negotiations on September 1.
