We are preparing for our next round of contract negotiations. The current contracts are set to expire on November 30, 2025. The priorities and goals for contract negotiations are set by membership and the bargaining committee and will guide us through this next contract cycle. Please fill out the survey below by Friday, February 14 so the bargaining committee can understand your priority issues and concerns to address.

This survey is only for union members. You can fill out a union membership card here. If you are not sure, please click the link and sign up.

Interested in joining the Contract Action Team? If yes, please complete the attached paperwork and turn it into your steward and/or your rep so we can build our power ahead of the upcoming contract negotiations. As a member of the Contract Action Team, you will have the opportunity to study the contract, advocate for yourself and your colleagues, and play a vital role in the fight for a fair and equitable contract. The bargaining committee will be announced in the coming weeks.
