Negotiation update #7

We met on Feb. 19, 2020, for our seventh negotiation session. We have responded to the employer’s proposals on reduction in force that would have undermined your seniority in the name of equity and social justice with our own proposal on organizational equity and inclusion.

Your bargaining team believes that the WSNA proposal is a much more comprehensive and fair approach at creating justice in the workplace while protecting seniority. We made a proposal on inclement weather for mission-critical employees.

We spent lots of time talking about the county’s proposal on the pilot program of Flex Patterns for KCCF.

KCCF staff: KCCF staff, check your home emails for additional communication about work group participation.

From your negotiating team, Paul Kunkel, Jane Storrs, Tami Nesler, Carolyn Clark and Melissa Fukunaga
