“So happy this ball is finally rolling on the negotiation process. The Employer has reviewed our first proposals and gave us their counteroffer. The process will take time, and we encourage your contributions and questions. Please attend our Contract Action Team meetings.” — Erin Burgman, LMT, Bel-Red location
“Unity is strength... When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” — Mattie Stepanek
Come meet with our Bargaining Team to learn more about the proposal process and the work we’re doing at the table with the Employer. We are currently developing our economic proposals including wages, premiums and leaves. Our Bargaining Team needs to hear your input, your voice is essential in shaping our proposals!

Know Your Rights
Weingarten rights were won in a 1975 Supreme Court decision with these basic guidelines:
You must make a clear request for union representation either before or during the interview.
Managers do not have to inform employees of their rights. Management cannot retaliate against an employee for requesting representation.
Management must delay questioning until the union steward arrives.
It is against Federal Law for management to deny an employee’s request for a steward and continue with an interrogation. In this case, an employee can refuse to answer management’s questions.
