Disrespected by Management
On July 25, our Bargaining Team met with Management to continue negotiations. We presented our economic proposals today and Management laughed in our faces! Our proposals included:
Guaranteed wage increases each year of the contract based on length of service
A production tech II and Driver II positions – (opportunity for advancement)
Profit sharing and bonuses
Additional Holidays and Holiday pay
Separate Vacation, Sick leave, and Personal day banks
Other types of Paid and unpaid leaves
Funeral and Bereavement leave
Safety Committee
Respect for workers (FREE of cost!)
Guaranteed Weekly samples of all current products.
Successorship provisions
We plan to give them a health care proposal before our next session and look forward to a full contract proposal response from Management so that we can continue negotiating a fair contract. Though the laughing was very disrespectful and unprofessional, we remain steadfast in putting forward your demands and fighting to win the best contract possible.
At the next session, we plan to have a Federal Mediator present at the table to assist in the process and help us reach a fair deal as soon as possible! Keep an eye out for any upcoming Negotiations all staff update meetings and future field actions.
Next Bargaining date: August 8
Bargaining Team: Ariel Simmons, Production Lead; Robbie Elkins, Production Tech; Jennifer Wade, Production Tech; Kimberly Greenside, Accounting Clerk; Diba Kamayo, Driver/Distribution
