Nos reunimos con la compañía en los últimos dos días donde presentamos todas nuestras propuestas que incluyen incrementos de salario en comparación al mercado laboral.
Desafortunadamente, una de las primeras propuestas que la compañía Twin City Foods nos hizo fue incrementar el seguro médico a un 15%, elevando el costo total para los empleados al 25%! Ahora que la compañía tiene todas nuestras propuestas, esperamos que para el 26 de agosto nos den respuestas justas para todos los empleados. Confiamos en que en los próximos días de negociación podamos obtener un contrato que valore el arduo trabajo de todos los trabajadores en todos los departamentos.
De parte del comité negociador, les damos las gracias a todos por apoyarnos y por asistir al convivio el domingo pasado. ¡Compartir con ustedes fuera del trabajo siempre es una bonita experiencia!
Over the last two days, your union bargaining team met with Twin City Foods representatives to continue contract negotiations. We presented all our proposals, which included our wage proposal that we believe is comparable to the labor market.
Unfortunately, one of the first proposals we received from Twin City Foods was to increase the health insurance cost for workers by 15% (from 10% to 25%)! Now that Twin City Foods has all of our proposals, we await their response. Next contract negotiations are scheduled for August 26 and 29. We are hopeful that in the upcoming days of negotiation, we can get closer to a fair contract that values the hard work of all employees in every department.
On behalf of the negotiation committee, we thank you all for your support and for attending the gathering last Sunday. Sharing time with you outside of work is always a great experience!
We had a productive first negotiation session where we introduced our initial non-economic proposals. We worked through several other proposals and are preparing to present them at our next scheduled session next week. Our negotiating team is optimistic about achieving positive results together.

This will be the second union contract at Twin City Foods, and a great opportunity to build on and improve our first contract! It is more important than ever to be united, get involved, and support your bargaining team!
We have sent the company a request for dates to meet, and as we wait for official dates to begin, we will be holding another Contract Action Team meeting. These meetings are a great place to bring workplace issues, plan workplace actions, and get more detailed information.

Jenny C., a transporter at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, knows what it looks like when management hopes a problem will just go away.
Jenny has watched the facility's transport elevators malfunction for more than a year, filing report after report after each incident she witnessed. Supervisors did not appear to take these complaints seriously.
