This is our union democracy in action. This is our contract, and we will fight to address membership concerns as expeditiously as possible. We will work diligently through the process outlined below.
What’s Next?
Our Master Executive Council (MEC) will discuss next steps with the Negotiating Committee. Information and timelines will be communicated once determined.
The projected timeline of tasks includes, but is not limited to:
- Creating and sending a survey to Members
- Analyzing survey results and drafting revised proposals
- Presenting the revised proposals to the MEC for feedback and approval
- Requesting additional Mediation dates with management and the mediator from the National Mediation Board (NMB)
- Exchanging revised proposals with management
- Engaging in Negotiations/Mediation with the intent of reaching a second TA
- Scheduling additional Mobilization efforts which will be necessary to put pressure on management, increase our leverage, and get additional money into a new tentative agreement
Additional details will be shared in the coming weeks.
