Negotiations
Update
The IBT and Company negotiating
committees are meeting through the weekend Las Vegas, Nevada in hopes of
getting closer to completing an amalgamated contract. The session, which began
on Tuesday, September 21st, continued discussions on areas
previously was discussed in small committees through the beginning of the
month. Sufficient progress was made through the week that the Company made a
comprehensive proposal on Friday.
The IBT rank and file committee had
several questions regarding the proposal, with small committees focused on
specific articles of the agreement. Work began on getting answers on Saturday;
and as of this time, that work continues.
A comprehensive counter from the
Union will follow when this work is finished.
