Hello, Specialty Finishes! We came to a Tentative agreement with management on Friday. We have included the Proposed Contract and the Proposed Wage Schedule from Management. Please read through these. Write down any questions you develop, and bring them to the meeting before the vote. The vote will take place on Thursday. There will be a synopsis and more information following. Thank you for all your effort and support throughout this process. We know this has been a difficult time for you and your families and we hope this will conclude very soon.
As you know, we have been in bargaining for almost 1 year. Here is what we have for you to consider:
“Negotiations Update & Potential Vote”
Specialty Finishes Bargaining Update
The Union Bargaining Team is excited to announce that there has been a lot of movement recently around economics. Your diligence to get a first ever contract is commendable, and you should be proud.
“Working class people have always had to fight. Nothing was ever given to us as gifts from the rich. Everything we’ve gained, it’s had to be fought for through struggle”- Mick Lynch
Our next bargaining session is August 11, 2023. If a tentative agreement is reached at the August 11th negotiations, members will be sent the details of the offer on August 14th. A vote will then be held August 17th at 1:00 pm, onsite.
If negotiations does not result in a tentative agreement, negotiations will restart.
