Our MFused Bargaining Team met with Management on May 30 for our second day of negotiations.

Our t-shirt and button action was a huge success! We stood together and demanded the day off and full sessions for each bargaining day and WON! We reached agreements around the ground rules regarding frequency and length of bargaining sessions, and we passed our initial non-economic contract proposals to each other.

Management is proposing to change everyone’s schedules to start and end later in the day.

They also want to eliminate the ability to have water bottles at our workstations. We discussed the hardships that these changes would cause to members. We look forward to their responses and to have productive sessions going forward.

Next Bargaining Dates:
June 13 and July 14
