We met with Management on Monday, August 16 for further contract negotiations. Even with the overwhelming support on the petitions we circulated, we are still far apart on economics. Our Bargaining Team has proposed both across the board and longevity increases as well as other economic improvements. Management has stated that giving more than small cost of living increases could have dire consequences for the Affiliate.

We have requested financial and other information from Management to substantiate these claims. Our Bargaining Team will review the information before we make a counter proposal. Our next bargaining date is scheduled for September 3.

“We need more information to assess the financial status of the Affiliate before we can make a comprehensive proposal.”
