Since our last update about contract negotiations, we have narrowed down what needs to be done to settle the contract. We will talk more about this at the Member Meetings next Weds, August 27. In the meanwhile, here are some things you might be wondering about:
We are talking about a % raise with a “floor” amount, like we usually have, so that each member gets the raise that is bigger for them
We are not going to be able to put a step system in place in this 1-year contract
We are keeping an eye on the retro owed because the raises did not take effect in July
We will make progress on some but not all of the other ideas we have raised
We will be back in negotiations for the next contract in 6 months time
Join us on Weds, August 27, at 12pm, 12:30pm, 1pm, or 1:30pm to discuss contract negotiations in more detail. Feel free to reach out to one of the SHARE staff organizers if you have questions.
In Solidarity,
A.J., Jameal, Jana, and Elisabeth
