After weeks of collective action, we expected management to show up to our August 17th bargaining session with counters to our latest economic proposals. Counters that should have been presented to us the week prior. In fact, at the previous week’s session, they told us to expect them. In what’s become a consistent pattern of excuses and delay tactics, management showed up with no counters to our largest outstanding economic proposals: Leaves of Absence, Holidays, Paid Time Off (PTO), and Four-Day Work Week (4DWW). Despite having some of these proposals since October 2022, they claim they still need more time and resources to make a counterproposal. We have waited long enough!
