Negotiations Update June 19, 2019

Our team met for session number nine with management on June 19, 2019. After considerable time and effort, we came prepared with a package proposal addressing all the open issues. Unfortunately, management responded by reasserting a laundry list of takeaways including their demands to take away EIB accrual, impose new per diem requirements, expand mandatory call and a host of others. We are awaiting their latest wage proposal at our next session.

Our team is standing resolute and ready to take management on. It’s time to stand up and fight. Our next session is July 2 and is open for observers and supporters to attend.

Please stay tuned for more action requests and local unit meeting announcements!

We need to show we are standing together in solidarity and unity to demand a fair contract!
