Your negotiating team met the employer on April 22 to continue bargaining. We have not started negotiations for wages and benefits yet, but we made progress on several other articles.
We shared our position and had productive conversations on the following articles:
Article 9 - Time Off for Union Business
Article 20 - Call Back/Standby Pay
Article 22 - Paid Holidays
Article 31 - Respect in the Workplace
The employer tried to restrict our right to strike, but we refused to accept. They heard our concerns on their no strike/no lockout language and withdrew their proposal.
