August 15, 2023Bargaining Update:
Our Team headed back to the table on August 15, 2023. We made some initial progress with tentatively agreeing with the Division’s Management Team regarding Article 1 (Recognition and Definitions) and most of Article 2 (Administration of Agreement). These Articles lay down the fundamental understanding of the contract. As we move forward, we will get into more of the meat and potatoes with our contracts.
Our next bargaining meeting is on August 22nd, and we are planning to bargain Article 3 (Association Rights and Board Responsibilities) as well as Article 5 (Grievance). We are asking Reps to share this information with members at your site as well as passing on the message that we need members to attend bargaining sessions and join our Contract Action Team (CAT). Please share the link below with members at your site to join CAT in order to receive more information.
