We have confirmed next Tuesday, June 9th as our next bargaining date with the employer. We’ll be at the Aloft Hotel (558 Fellowship Rd, Mt Laurel, NJ 08054.) All members are encouraged to attend!

As we prepare for our 2027 union contract negotiations, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
After a very frustrating day, we did not reach an agreement on a contract this evening and remain VERY far apart on our key issues. However at the end of the session, we started getting some momentum towards an agreement.
After 5 bargaining sessions management today made no attempt to address the major issues that we have had on the bargaining table since day 1: A fair wage, improved staffing and floating.
