We met with management on Aug. 9 and presented our additional proposals. Management was not prepared to respond to us today with any counters as they wanted our complete proposal first.

Our additional proposals included low census, standby and floating, We gave management our wage proposal on day one of negotiations.

We are scheduled for an additional day of negotiations on August 20 at which time we anticipate responses from management.

Continue to wear your buttons and stickers showing your support of your negotiating team. When you see Marisela, Love and/or Lori Riojas, your negotiating team members, don’t forget to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

In solidarity,
