Wednesday Sep. 30, the elected bargaining team had a last-minute meeting.
Management wants:
Us to call off our strike and come back to the table to start all over again in a month or two
To keep all of their takeaways
To ignore our proposals to improve safety and staffing
To bypass our elected bargaining team
The bargaining team met, and came to a simple conclusion: we have been bargaining since January, and the only way we are calling off our strike is if we have a fair contract. The bargaining team is ready, willing, and able to negotiate a fair deal at any time: before, during, or after our strike. To get us closer to this fair deal, we sent management a comprehensive proposal to resolve all outstanding issues. Our solidarity is getting results. The strike is on. When we fight, we win!
