The bargaining committee has been meeting with the company to discuss improvements to Appendix E. Although we have made some progress, we still have work to do.
We are optimistic regarding the movement at the table, and it appears the membership’s actions could be the result of it. We acknowledge your support, and it’s appreciated. The company has stated that there are a variety of things they won’t leave the table without, and your bargaining team has been very stingy about these items unless we see a significant benefit for the membership.
The company continues to mention how we are not in alignment with other districts when it benefits them but ignores it when your bargaining committee points it out for our benefit. With wages being a huge issue as we advance in these negotiations, your bargaining committee understands the cost of living and inflation that affects us all, and it must be addressed!
The bargaining committee will continue to work towards a contract that will benefit all members.
Your commitment to fighting and mobilizing for a fair and just contract is paramount to these negotiations and is greatly appreciated. Unity is our strength, and you all are showing how strong we are.
In Unity,
Mike Barfield, Staff Representative
Art Gonzalez, Local 9511
John Miller, Local 9421
Jason Hall, Local 9423
Chris Roberts, Local 9509
