Tentative Agreement
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!
UPDATED: Download the tentative agreement here. This update includes two signed TA’s for Article 5 at the end of the document.

DON’T FALL FOR THE LIES
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

URGENT UPDATE
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!
