Bargaining – March 21, 2024

Today marked our third negotiation session with the employer, and we wanted to provide you with an update on our progress.

While the process is unfolding at a slower pace than anticipated, it’s important to note that we’re steadfast in our commitment to securing better working conditions for all of us.  The employer has presented proposals that, unfortunately, do not align with the locals vision for improvement.  However, rest assured that the bargaining team is diligently representing your interests at the table. We were able to agree on one thing today.

We refuse to entertain any concessions that compromise the well-being and rights of our workforce. Our resolve remains unwavering—we will continue to advocate for what each and every one of you rightfully deserves.

Stay engaged and stay informed. Together, we will persevere until we achieve the fair and just outcomes we seek. Your support and solidarity are invaluable as we navigate through these negotiations.

We will be meeting next with the Employer on May 9, 10, 14, and 16.

Stay tuned for further updates.

In solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee
