After a difficult two weeks your negotiating committee fought off the companies attempts to offer you an agreement that did not address your top concerns. However, we remained vigilant in addressing your needs and are happy to recommend the acceptance of this tentative agreement. Your committee wants to thank you – the membership for your support!
Your bargaining committee has continued to pressure the Company to negotiate decent, well-deserved economic language that addresses your needs. While it was a difficult day, we are working into the evening hours to secure what is most important to you. When we have any updates, we will post them right here on the website.
If the Company tells you anything about this union committee negotiating, takeaways: Don’t fall for the lies. This committee is bargaining for general wage increases for all, not pay adders for just a few. #FAIRWAGESFORALL #NOPAYADDERS
Negotiations have taken a turn for the worse. The Company is proposing pay adders designed to divide the membership and rejecting proposals to increase automatic rate progression. Your committee is fighting for GWIs across the entire bargaining unit. It is time to let the Company know you are not accepting anything less than what you deserve! Make some noise during your breaks and lunches!
Today, your committee continued the fight for survey priorities. We have made progress on these priorities and continue to push the company to hear your needs. We remain at the table tonight and into tomorrow to continue discussions. DON’T FORGET: Updates will also be posted on the website @ https://iamulanow.com
Today was a slow-moving day, but progress, albeit slow, has been made on some economic proposals. Your committee is headstrong in focusing on the critical pieces from the survey that you said were the top priorities. We will continue to fight for those priorities. Tomorrow is Union Shirt Day. Wear your grey shirts to show unity and strength with your negotiating committee. DON’T FORGET: Updates will also be posted on the website @ https://iamulanow.com/
