Yesterday, your WSNA bargaining team met with Management for bargaining session number one. We came prepared with proposals that were developed from:

1. Your valuable input from the Negotiation Survey and independent feedback
2. Outstanding items from our prior negotiations
3. Issues that have resulted in grievances and/or arbitrations
4. Opportunities to strengthen the contract

In addition to delivering proposals to Management, the teams engaged in meaningful discussion and planning for upcoming bargaining sessions.
