Sunrise Dental - Bargaining Continues

Sunrise Dental
Bargaining Continues
After two bargaining sessions, Management says everyone is happy and nothing needs to be improved.
When our Bargaining Team proposed increasing the number of paid holidays, Management said they were not interested.
We deserve higher pay, but Management says:
“We are paying higher than the contract, so don’t need to change wages by very much.”
YOUR OPINION MATTERS!
