Theorem bargaining team, Haily Nowak and Chloe Casey, cooking up TAs!
Our union bargaining team met with management last week to continue negotiating for our first contract. We proposed an entire draft contract at our first session and in May, Theorem responded to these articles:
Recognition (defining our unit positions and protecting bargaining unit work)
Union Security (defining membership, dues processes, and safeguarding our union)
Union Representation (securing union stewards, bulletin boards, access to our Rep, time off for union business, and new hire orientation)
Labor Management Committee (creating a protected space to collaboratively address non-contract workplace issues)
Discipline & Discharge (protecting job security and preventing unfair treatment through just cause and progressive discipline)
Grievance & Arbitration (creating a process for addressing contract violations)
Theorem also made a Management Rights proposal. After going back and forth on these in June, we're excited to share that we reached three tentative agreements (TAs), securing strong contract language on Recognition, Union Representation, and Labor Management Committee!
We're hopeful that at our next meeting on July 9, we'll make progress on the rest of the non-economics (including Health & Safety and Employment Practices, which includes provisions on job promotions & openings and anti-discrimination). We have also asked management to commit to making an economics counterproposal on July 24, so we can keep pushing forward and win a fair first contract with the wage increases we deserve.
