Bargaining Update
We recently met with Draper Valley Farms on February 19, 20, and 21 to continue negotiating OUR contract at the Processing Plant and Distribution Center. By the end of the third day of negotiations, we had presented all our proposals to the employer that included wage increases that reflect the rising cost of living, higher pay for heavier jobs, and pay increases that recognize years of service. Unfortunately, by end of the third day, we had not received a response on the economic proposals. The next bargaining sessions will be on March 3 and 4. It’s important to stay united and keep showing our support with the stickers to demonstrate our strength and unity.
This negotiation is about finding common ground between us and the company. There are proposals we’ve rejected, and there are also proposals they’ve rejected. We need your support to show our unity and our power!

Al final del tercer día de negociaciones, presentamos todas nuestras propuestas al empleador, que incluían aumentos salariales que reflejan el aumento del costo de la vida, un salario más alto para los trabajos más pesados y aumentos salariales que reconocen los años de servicio.
