Deep Roots tattoo and Body Piercing - First Full Day of Bargaining

Deep Roots Tattoo and Body Piercing
First Full Day of Bargaining

Our union Bargaining Team met with the Employer on May 16.

Our Bargaining Team member, Hannah Corprew, from the University Way location was representing her colleagues and coworkers at the bargaining table.

During a long and productive bargaining day, the Employer responded to our first proposal from April 21 with a counter proposal, including on noneconomic issues such as union recognition and representation, employment practice, and more.

Our Bargaining Team worked to draft proposals on holidays, seniority and hours of work and overtime.

We agreed to continue our bargaining meetings later this summer when the Employer will be available to meet again.

Meanwhile, our Bargaining Team will be working on drafting more bargaining proposals, including our opening economic proposal.

“As we complete our first full day of bargaining with Deep Roots I feel hopeful that we will be able to win a good first contract that respects all parties and helps make Deep Roots a better company.”
