Local 5097 Complete Care at Harborage Bargaining Update #7

This week management has failed to come to the table to address our issues around staffing and fair wages. Complete Cares’ last offer of less than 3% over 3 years is unacceptable and disrespectful.

Management continues to say that staffing is not an issue and they are not willing to address the unions’ concerns. That is not good enough. Management has said they should be able to float anyone at any time hired in after 2013.

Is that acceptable to you?

We have agreed to bargain on Monday with the goal of reaching an agreement that we can take back to the membership for ratification, but management must address our outstanding issues. The contract did expire last Sunday, but you are still protected by the provisions of our contract after it expires.

TAKE ACTION – We will be holding a membership meeting next Tuesday in the Palisades Auditorium from 9am till 4pm. Please stop by on your break or lunch so we can update you and consider our next actionWe are also asking all members to wear their “Fair Contract Now” stickers all next week which we will be distributing at the membership meeting.

TELL COMPLETE CARE AT HARBORAGE LLC TO RESPECT US, PROTECT US & SUPPORT US
