Rove Bargaining Report #21

April 4th 2024

Two steps forward, one step back...
This week we were able to reach a TA on 2 proposals: personnel records & contract printing/distribution. After passing 5 versions of contract proposal back and forth, it seems the company finally understood the importance of solidarity and supporting other Union businesses.

The company presented several counter proposals, some moving in the right direction, others not so much.

We have TA'd about 19% of the proposal topics that have been introduced. The company has rejected 10% of the proposals topics the Union brought forward without offering counter proposals.

We have two sessions scheduled for next week.

Respectfully submitted,

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.
