We have reached a FULLY RECOMMENDED tentative agreement with Providence Sacred Heart in RECORD TIME and far before expiration!
Your bargaining team met with the employer for three expedited bargaining sessions where we focused on wages. After some long sessions we were able to reach a tentative agreement that will compensate all Service and Maintenance employees represented by UFCW Local 300 fairly for the work they do. The wage increases are the largest collectively that we have seen at Providence Sacred Heart and will make us market competive within our region.
Your bargaining team is recommending a YES vote on the tentative agreement.
