On May 3 your Bargaining Team met with Management for our first bargaining session. We started out hopeful that it would be productive and had a federal Mediator join us for joint training. Unfortunately, it appears that Management intends to draw out the process, proposing to meet only once a month for a maximum of 4 hours. It was a struggle to even get them to agree to future dates!

“Management said that eight hours of work (negotiating) is too grueling. They expect us to work a full shift and then negotiate after work. This is unacceptable!”

— Bargaining Team  

We need Management to take us seriously and meet with us at reasonable times and dates to address our issues and negotiate a Fair Contract Now! 

Want to show Management we are united? Stand in solidarity with us by wearing our new buttons and T-Shirts on May 23 and May 30. Reach out to your Bargaining Team to get yours!

Next Bargaining Dates: May 30 and June 13

Our Bargaining Team: Ariel Simmons, Kimberly Greenside, Jennifer Wade, Robert Elkins, and Diba Kamayo
