First, the negotiation committee would like to thank all our membership for their very strong support on the strike sanction vote taken last week. Your show of solidarity will go a long way as the negotiations begin today.
Stand Tall, Stand Together
Your negotiating committee and business rep, Robert Miller met representatives from Chugach and Del-Jen today to begin the collective bargaining process. The day opened with proposals on contract language pertaining to non-economic issues. Some positive feedback has come about as open discussion between both sides continue. The committee recessed around 7PM and will convene again tomorrow.
