On May 5, your union bargaining committee met with your employer for the 4th round of bargaining. At this meeting the Union received the employer’s response to our last position of April 23, 2015.
It was clear that the roadblocks to achieving a fair deal still remain. As a result, your union bargaining committee broke off negotiations.
Your committee believes that a strong strike mandate is required from both local union memberships to move the negotiations forward. Your union has scheduled strike votes along with other information meetings to ensure that our members are informed (please see below for the meeting schedule.
Be sure to watch your union bulletin board, website, emails and phone messages this week for further information on these important meetings.
Your participation at these membership meetings is essential. We need you to be engaged and informed to assist your bargaining committee in reaching a fair deal for you and your co-workers. Please encourage all of your co-workers to attend the scheduled meeting in your area.
Together, we can make fairness happen at the bargaining table.
