Health Care Bargaining Update: Tentative Agreement Reached

Health Care Bargaining Update

Tentative Agreement Reached

Good evening everyone,

Late this afternoon, your bargaining committee reached a tentative agreement that they are recommending for acceptance to the membership.

After spending an additional two days at the table with the employers and the Conciliation Officer, the committee was finally offered an agreement that included suitable wage and language improvements.

As a result, Local 8920 is suspending the strike vote which began this morning (Tuesday, July 6th) and will instead move to hold ratification votes. Each Area/Zone will post voting locations and times. Please check the Local 8920 Website and Facebook Page for listings.

Local 8920 will schedule a Telephone Town Hall later this week to discuss the tentative agreement that the committee will be asking you to vote on. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments during that call (you should receive an invite email and phone call to this event.

Please make every effort to participate in this meeting.

Your bargaining committee appreciates the patience and support you have shown throughout this process. Once again Local 8920 will be requesting members supply the Local with email addresses so that we may move to electronic voting in the future.
