So what is happening with your raises?
Your bargaining team met with ABHS management again on May 30, 2018. Several proposals were exchanged and a lot of good discussion was had but we have still not reached agreement.
How we do we win a strong Union contract?
Thank you to everyone who has participated in job actions to send a message to your employer that you are 100% Union and United for a strong contract! What should you do next? This has not changed a bit! Continue to join your brothers and sisters in saying YES to a strong contract! Keep showing your solidarity and readiness to stand strong by wearing your UNION GREEN shirt and STRONG & FAIR CONTRACT buttons/stickers once a week for all to see. Let them know you will not settle for less by keeping those signs in your car windows, too!
When is the next bargaining session?
The next dates are June 14 and June 15, 2018.
What happens now that we’ve passed March 31st?
Many of you are probably wondering of anything changed after the current contract term ended without negotiations being complete for your next contract. Not to fear! Article 33.2 of your contract, “Term of Agreement”, states in part:
“If this Agreement expires while negotiations between the Union and the Employer are underway for a successor Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the expiration date.”
This means that all of the hard won terms of your contract remain in effect while you continue to fight for a strong successor Agreement.
United we win!
