Rove Bargaining Report #20

April 4th, 2024

 

This week the committee met with the company two times.

We introduced new proposals on discipline steps and meal/relief periods and countered several proposals.

We had a good discussion around understanding the company’s 401k plan and a meaning discussion around employee loyalty as it relates to tenure.

Just when we thought we were breaking through, the company “Ya La Cagastes”… (he shitted it).

The company’s counter proposals made essentially no movement closer toward the Unions prior proposals leaving the committee wondering …. If he is really understands the workers concerns.

Rove Bargaining Report #18

03/22/24

 

We met with the company and brought several proposals. 
 
When discussing pay for civic duty, the company seemed surprised to discover the workers were dependent on receiving 40 hours of pay in order to survive, and people are living paycheck to paycheck.  "What benefit does Rove get by paying a worker to perform jury duty?"   The company believes the worker should do it without pay as part of their service to the Country.   
 
The company brought no new or counter proposals this week.

Rove Bargaining Report #17

March 14th 2024

Over the last 2 weeks we have met with the company 3 times.

The company still has not yet answered the neutrality and cardcheck proposal that was reintroduced, and though they complained about not being successful hiring in the Minnesota call center, they gutted the majority and rejected one of the proposals the Union passed to help bring in quality candidates.

The company rejected sick and safe time because they rolled it into their Paid Time Off (PTO) proposal. Someone dies? Give up Vacation time to grieve the loss. Need to care for sick kid or parent? Give up Vacation time. Got raped? Beat? Yep, that's what your vacation time (PTO) is for. Sound empathetic?

Good thing the bargaining team all got a copy of the book!
