Dear Colleagues,
Thursday, March 27, marked the third of four bargaining sessions scheduled for the week, with two additional sessions now scheduled for this weekend. Today resulted in additional progress including:
- CRONA returned a comprehensive economic package, which narrowed the gaps on wages, Relief Differential and Retiree Medical Benefits.
- The parties reached a tentative agreement on New Technology, further reducing the total number of open items.
- Our team passed responses on Weekend Staffing, PNDP and a mini package that included Schedule Posting, Remote Work, Mix of Shifts and PTO Usage.
- The parties return to the table on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, March 28, 29, 30 and 31, in an effort to reach an agreement by the contract’s March 31 expiration.
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
