Over the past few weeks, our Union Bargaining Team met with Isoray management on July 6 and 19. During these sessions, we welcomed a new bargaining committee member, Ethan Black, who will be replacing Tamra. We want to acknowledge Tamra’s excellent representation of her co-workers in the earlier sessions and wish her the best in her future endeavors.

In these last two sessions, we were able to make progress and reach tentative agreements on some important non-economic issues, such as access to the facility by the union rep and gender equality language.

Additionally, we have made progress in the discussions surrounding holidays and the grievance procedure. While there are still details to be worked out, we are making headway in these areas.

Furthermore, we presented our Health & Welfare proposal to the company, which we believe offers a great and affordable healthcare plan. This plan has the potential to result in significant savings for all workers.
