On May 5, 2022 our bargaining team meet in person with management for our fifth joint negotiations session. We are pleased to report that our first in person meeting was another productive one. Our team presented another set of proposals focused extending the extra benefits and protections some job classifications have to all workers covered under the contract. Management provided us with some counters to our proposals and our team is hard at work to find ways we can come to an agreement on several issues. 

At this point almost all our non-economic proposals are on the table. In our next session on May 11 we plan to provide a comprehensive set of counters to management’s proposals, in hopes that we can reach enough agreements that we can dive into and focus on economics. 

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

Stay tuned for more updates after our May 11 session. 

You’re Invited!
