Contract Update 8-4-23
The committee is aware that the membership is requesting specifics of the non-economics recently debated. Negotiations are not over until September when they give us there last best and final. The process is not different than and previous CBA. The committee (like previous) is mindful and resepectful of the memberships appetite for details. Revealing sensitive details that are subject to change will only cause additional chaos, confusion, and rumors that the company will feed off of. It is best to negotiate at the bargaining table and not on the shop floor. The confidentiality also allows the committee to focus on negotiations instead of putting out countless fires due to rumors and misunderstandings.
The goal is to have the last, best, and final in the hands of the membership (1) one week prior to the ratification vote, which is the what the membership requested for.
Thank you for understanding and patience during this process. When negotiations are complete, all details will be available along with Q & A during the meeting.
