Come to Bargaining! Today (August 10th), 11am-4pm
Because you deserve more than 2%
Our next bargaining session starts at 11 a.m. today. We will once again be fighting for living wages and equity in pay structures -- join us if you think you and your coworkers deserve living wages now!
Join the Zoom room whenever you can and stay as long as you can. We had 150 staff together at the last session -- let's make that number even bigger today! It's crucial to show the administration our power by having as many unit members attend bargaining as possible. Know someone you think should attend? Forward this email to them.
We will be in bargaining with a mediator. If this is your first time attending, here are some things to know:
1. Please refrain from using the Zoom chat function. We use a WhatsApp chat to communicate with each other -- text Chadwick at 240-506-6055 with your name to be added to the WhatsApp.
2. We will caucus in breakout rooms in the mediator's Zoom.
Sign an SEIU Local 500 membership card to signal your support as we bargain. Membership dues will not be collected until the collective bargaining agreement is signed and ratified.
