Union Bargaining Update

Update on binding interest wage panel decision:
I hope this update finds you well. I am writing to provide you with an update regarding the decision of the Binding Interest Wage Panel. As you are aware, the last hearing was held on February 8th, spanning a total of 9 days. Despite the 40 days so far, we have yet to receive a determination on the general and special wage increases.
Please be assured that the Union is actively monitoring the situation and advocating for a timely decision. Once we obtain any pertinent information regarding the decision, the leadership will promptly notify you. Additionally, we will organize town halls via Zoom to ensure transparent communication and to address any concerns or questions membership may have.
We understand the importance of this decision for all members, and we appreciate your patience and continued support throughout this process. Your dedication to the Union is invaluable, and we remain committed to achieving the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
On behalf of your Central Negotiating Committee,
Strength in numbers and stronger together
