Hard Work and Determined Organizing Pay Off with Strong New National Tentative Agreement!

After careful preparation, months of organizing in unprecedented numbers, and long days and nights in negotiating sessions stretching from May to September, we have finally secured a strong tentative agreement (TA) that met our key goals: a good wage increase, better benefits, new LMP and educational trust funds for our Alliance union members, and a plan to get our LMP back on track.

As bargaining continues next week, we’re more united than ever

With the expiration of the National Agreement looming at the end of the month, negotiations will resume in Los Angeles on Monday, September 17.

Some progress has been made in prior rounds of talks, but there is a lot of ground to cover in a short time. The meeting will be at the Sheraton Gateway near LAX.

Make your voice heard on Monday!

Since we'll be bargaining on Monday, please wear your union colors on Monday next week. Be sure to you're talking to co-workers and supervisors about the key issues.

Bargaining Update

A NEW CONTRACT THAT WILL DICTATE HOW MUCH YOU GET PAID, HOW MUCH YOU PAY TO SEE A DOCTOR, HOW MUCH YOU PAY TO FILL YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS, AND HOW MUCH CONTROL COMPANY HAS OVER YOUR SCHEDULE.

Company is serious about:

1.      Wanting the unilateral right to cancel your shifts at the last minute. That means you wouldn’t be able to plan or budget your life.

2.      Increasing copays to $20 every time you go to the doctor, get a procedure done, or fill a prescription. Those expenses would add up quickly and could turn one doctor’s visit into a lot of money.

Bargaining Continues

Our contract expires on October 1, 2018 and it’s more important than ever for all members of Local 7600 to build from the powerful wave of engagement we had on Sunday, July 8, until we win another standard-setting agreement.
