        We’re Looking For Our Next MEC Mobilization Committee Chairperson

        When it comes to contract negotiations, solidarity means success.  Our Mobilization Committee is a critical component to our collective power and provides our Negotiating Committee with an advantage at the bargaining table.  Members of the Mobilization Committee are responsible for actively sharing information about negotiations, gathering feedback about key issues, and calling others to action through support in organized solidarity activities.

        Preparations for contract negotiations are underway and our Mobilization Committee is starting to organize.  We’ve reached the point in the process where we’re looking for candidates for the position of MEC Mobilization Committee Chairperson.  The MEC Mobilization Committee Chairperson is responsible for organizing and coordinating the work of the committee across all six bases and building our solidarity.

        Interviews for the position will take place by video conference on April 13. Find out more about the role or how to express your interest on the Contract 2022 website at https://contract2022.afaalaska.org/news/mec-mobilization-committee-chairperson-interviews/.
