        Getting Ready for Contract Negotiations

        Originally posted August 11, 2022

        Contract negotiations with management are set to begin just over a month from today.  As our Negotiating Committee gears up to go to the table with management, a number of activities are taking place to help support their work.  Our Negotiations Survey is underway, preparatory work has started on our AFA opening proposal to management, and our Mobilization Committee is looking for Mobilization Volunteers to back our Negotiating Committee.  Looking for even more information about negotiations and what to expect?  Our Contract 2022 website is your one-stop resource for everything you need to know!
