Negotiations Begin Today

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.
