March 30 Session

Dear Colleagues,

Sunday, March 30, the parties met for another full day and then continued into the night to keep the momentum going before today’s session – which we hope can be the parties’ last. Highlights include:

• Following the mini-package we passed Saturday evening, our team returned a package response on all other issues Sunday morning that included the remaining open topics.
  
  
• The parties reached two additional tentative agreements in concept as components of a broader package: Weekend Staffing and Immigration Enforcement.
  
  
• CRONA provided a response on a number of economic issues last night that included movement on wages. Our team has already been working through it and plans to respond early this morning to keep the progress moving.
  
  
• After two full days on Saturday and Sunday, the groups have continued to narrow gaps on the remaining issues and are back at the table today, March 31.
  
  
  • Our team is prepared to stay as long as it takes tonight to reach an agreement, and we look forward to working through the last remaining topics and doing all that we can in an effort to close out on a full agreement today.
    
    

Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
