Bargaining Update January 17, 2012

Meetings with the company resumed last week and he unions are no closer to any agreements, in fact the company rejected the unions call share proposal.  So much for working with the unions.  This week there will be limited bargaining.  We do have a meeting scheduled for the T6 on the company’s forced migration plans on Tuesday in Boston.

Please remain vigilant on the job.  We are looking for more volunteers for mobilization and are asking members to call the hall and sign up for mobilization activities, the unions are asking for 4 volunteer hours from each member to help in the fight for a fair contract.  

Do not listen to rumors, there are too many to keep track of.  Attend union meetings, join with other union members in mobilization activities and talk with your stewards.  

Any updates on bargaining will be shared with this membership through the informational tape, the web-site and of course at the union meetings.
