Sea Wolf Bakers - Bargaining Update
/Our bargaining team met with Sea Wolf management on June 3. Progress continued at a rapid clip as we reached Tentative Agreement on:
Our Recognition clause firmly establishing our union as the sole and exclusive representative of the non-supervisory workers at Sea Wolf Bakers
The employer's proposed Management Rights clause outlining their right to direct work and operations as long as it is within the parameters of the union contract
The 90-day introductory period for new hires
Successorship language, which details the process of the employer's responsibilities under the contract if Sea Wolf is sold to another owner
We also have come very close to agreed-upon language for a clear attendance policy, which will hold management to a defined process for treating us all equally. Last (but not least) we continued an open conversation with management about the structure of a potential wage scale and compensation overall.
Our next bargaining session will be June 10; after next week's session we will share details of another all-worker meeting to keep everyone updated and discuss next steps!
"We got a lot done and started an important discussion about compensation, though some of the conversations were more difficult than others."
