Negotiation update 8

We met for our eighth session on December 3, 2019. We have come a long way in developing the basic structures of a union contract that includes just cause protections, the grievance procedure, and the ability to advocate for safe staffing. However, we remain divided on very important issues such as wages and daily overtime.

We have reached a critical juncture in these negotiations. We need to converse with all of you about our direction moving forward. It is now crucial to hear your voice. This is a meeting you must attend.

Location: TBI Conference Room
Date: Monday, December 16, 2019
Time: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM

In Solidarity,

Anna Pyfrom and Heather Wantz
