Local 5097 The Harborage Member Update on Transition to New Employer (Complete Care)

We want to give an update to the meeting today with HMH pertaining to the transition to our new employer effective January 1, 2023. The HPAE Local 5097 contract that is in place now remains with the new employer. NOTHING CHANGES!   We are also scheduled to meet with Complete Care the first of next week and we will update you again after that meeting.
