Sisters and Brothers,
On March 11th & March 18th the Local Union will be entering into contract negotiations for our current agreements that end May 31st, 2021.
In preparing for our negotiations, and as mentioned in our past union meetings, our memberships input and collaboration is of the most importance.
When you have time, we would appreciate your feedback on any specific
areas you would like to see addressed.
Please forward your comments and suggestions to the local union office
via email, phone call, or letter.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and participation!
In Solidarity,
Alan Marzullo
Business Manager
WE CAN’T WAIT UNTIL YOU CAN STOP IN AND SEE SOME OF THE
EXCITING NEW CHANGES WE’VE MADE TO THE UNION OFFICE!!!!
