On Wednesday, March 9, our bargaining team meet with management for our second joint negotiations session. We provided management with a full set of initial proposals on a myriad of topics including job posting, equity, pandemic safety, PTO requests, training recognition, bereavement leave, and much more. We are eager to hear management’s responses to our initial proposals at our next meeting on March 23, where we also plan to propose more improvements to our union contract. 

Our team will continue to work hard at the table to get us a strong new contract, but we can’t do it alone. We need the support of all of our coworkers behind us if we are going to get real solutions to the big issues we face!

Please join us for one of our upcoming Virtual Contract Action Team meetings, which will be held on Tuesday, March 15 at 1PM and 7PM.  At these meetings, we will discuss what we can do in the field to help support our team at the table. 

If you have any questions about the bargaining process, please call our Union Rep Celia at (360) 419-4678.
