Local 5094 University Hospital bargaining update, January 2, 2018
On Thursday, December 21st, we met with management for our second bargaining session for our new contract. We presented them with our initial proposals and went through them one at a time explaining why each was important top us. Management also presented a handful of proposals – including an initial wage offer of three years (1%, 1.5%, 1.5%).
While we are encouraged that management seems to want to talk money so early on, we are very far apart on this issue. We also have many other issues that our members need addressed. Our next meeting is on January 18th.
We expect management’s response to many of our proposals, and we will respond to theirs (including their wage offer). Until then – have a very happy new year!!
