The Waiting Game . . .

Hey Everyone!

So we are still bargaining right now--at 10:30 at night! I have been going since 8:30 am. We are bargaining as we speak. We have been bargaining back and forth with management leadership but have not seen all of them in the same room today. They are caucusing and sending messages over because I believe that they don’t want to make all our members mad by saying the wrong things.

We are standing strong and continue to refuse any of their takeaway proposals. All of our brothers and sisters are making it perfectly clear that we will not accept any takeaways.

This has been a very long day and it seems like we are going round and round and reviewing things over and over, but I feel that we are making progress. All of us on the bargaining team are on the same page--we will stay up as late as need be and work as long as we have to in order to make sure that there are no takeaways and we get the contract we deserve! We refuse to lose anything. We are moving forward and holding on to our benefits.

Stay strong and check back here to get another update.
