Our union bargaining team met with management on Monday for the first of 5 scheduled bargaining dates and made good progress. We presented all of our proposals for language and economics. We were able to reach agreement on language for:

• Bereavement Leave—capturing policy language in our contract

• Department Closure on a Holiday—Whether a department is closed or under reduced staffing for a holiday, employees would have the choice whether or not to use PTO 

• Union Rep Access—Updated language for union reps during a state of emergency

We are awaiting a response to our economic proposals including wages, bonuses, and parking. Our next bargaining dates are December 3 and December 9.
