Card Kingdom

We lay out our proposals and our values

Our Union Bargaining Team: Cole (AM Production), Rio Rios (PM Production), Raevyn Fletcher (ON Production), Zach Whittle (ON Machine Ops), Mark Ochsner (AM Warehouse Specialist), Kosmo Parker (ON Shipping), Jeff Dunn (PM Inventory), Lee North (AM Grading)

On Thursday, October 27, our Bargaining Team met with Card Kingdom Management to begin contract negotiations. We proposed 7 articles that included progressive discipline and termination language, gender neutrality and inclusivity, and a community statement, with additional articles to come at future bargaining dates. We are hopeful that Management aligns with our shared values.

Although we moved forward with many articles, Management used most of the pre-scheduled time to discuss their ‘Ground Rules’ for bargaining. While not objectionable, it is an unusual level of detail to use and we hope that we can focus on progressing contract language at future bargaining dates. We will be meeting again in November with the full bargaining team. If you have additional questions or concerns that have come up since the bargaining survey, please reach out to Union Rep Dominick Ojeda (he/him) through discord, office phone 206-436-6586.
