Bargaining Session #3: Feb. 24, 2025
This was the second of three meetings for both sides to exchange proposals to have on the table for the next contract. Some of management’s proposals were quite drastic. Both sides presented, then the teams met among themselves for the rest of the evening. Our team is getting together several more times in early March to analyze management’s proposals and decide how to respond to them, and also to come up with the rest of the proposals we will present. All proposals must be brought to the table by the March 18 bargaining session, per the rules both sides agreed on at the start of the negotiations.
Next bargaining session: March 18, 2025
Bargaining Session #2: Feb. 3, 2025
Both sides provided their first group of proposals, with brief explanations of each, then caucused to discuss among themselves. We identified which proposals require a closer look and will continue to work on them before our next bargaining session, which is scheduled for Feb. 24. Per the ground rules both sides agreed to, all proposals must be brought to the table by the third bargaining session, which is scheduled for March 18.
