BARGAINING REPORT #12
- Sunday - August 20, 2023
REVISED AUGUST 20, 2023
The Union and Company Bargaining Committees have continued to meet throughout the day. The Committees made significant progress on Work at Home, progress on Jobs, continued progress on Active Benefits and are still actively engaged in bargaining on Wages and Retiree Benefits. The Union and Company have been unable to secure a full agreement by 11:59 tonight.
The Union has not agreed to an extension. The contract is expired as of 11:59 pm, Saturday, August 19, 2023. Under federal labor law, all the economic terms and conditions (wages, benefits, etc.) remain in effect, so long as the Union does not strike, and the Company does not lock us out. This is called maintaining “the status quo”.
