We met with Management on Monday to receive their first response to our comprehensive economic proposal. They rejected many of our non-wage proposals including:

• Cash out of vacation over the cap

• 3 additional sick days

• Premiums for receiving training in specialty skills

• Commitment to reinstating retirement match

We did get agreement on an increase to the bilingual premium and adding Juneteenth (June 19) as a holiday beginning in 2022.

“We see the affiliate offering recruitment bonuses for certain positions, but we’d rather see that money invested in keeping current employees. Better wages and premiums will also help with recruitment.”

We need to hear from you! Management is saying they cannot yet commit to when retirement matching will be reinstated. How has the pause in matching affected you?
