Dear Colleagues,
January 30 marked the third day of contract negotiations this week and our fifth session in total. The tone continues to be collaborative and professional, and the teams are steadily moving through proposals and closing the gaps where we can. The day’s highlights include:
- Our team passed our first counterproposals on Investigations and Written Warnings and Grievance and Arbitration. We also passed our second counterproposal on Workplace Violence.
- The CRONA team provided responses on Staffing, On-Call and Sleep Rooms, Schedule Posting and Workplace Violence.
- The teams focused much of their time on Workplace Violence, continuing important discussions and successfully narrowing differences.
- The parties made steady progress toward closing gaps on multiple sections and are optimistic that additional tentative agreements (TAs) can be reached when we meet next week on February 3, 4 and 5.
- Remember to check out our negotiations site for the latest negotiations updates.
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
