On April 29, bargaining went well as we continued negotiations and had a robust session that led to some agreements. These positive conversations around key topics are leading the way for us to have a fair contract. 

We are excited to say as we ended the day of bargaining, we had agreements on Rest and Meal Periods and Stand-by pay.  We continue to talk about Vacation PTO, Floats and Staffing, and Alternative work schedules to include daily overtime. We feel confident that these few topics will be agreed upon early in our next session and we will head to economics.  

Questions or ideas to share, please reach out to the Bargaining Team or Union Representative Maureen Hatton at 509-340-7370

“We are optimistic about the forward movement in bargaining as our seniority and time of service was acknowledged by management showing us we that our voices are valued.”
