We bargained with Management on July 25 and 26. Management has increased their wage offer but we’re not where we need to be yet. They feel they have already given us a wage increase in 2023 so they don’t need to give us anymore.

The overall tone of bargaining seems different than in prior years. Management seems antagonistic. Although we have discussed the reasoning for our proposals, management’s response has been NO on several things. Unfortunately, Management doesn’t seem interested in engaging fully with us on our issues and seems more focused on our differences.

Bargaining continues next week and we invite you to drop in afterwards and talk with the bargaining team:

• Monday, August 7

• 5:00PM—6:00PM
