Come here for active updates about bargaining for our first union contract! Below is a table of all contract proposals presented in bargaining, in order from oldest to newest (left to right). As more proposals are offered, more rows will be added to the table. Once we reach agreement on all the Articles of our contract, members will get to vote to accept our tentative agreement, to make it our first union contract!

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT PACKAGE PROPOSALS
This comprehensive package proposals were created by admins to try to get us to accept a full agreement that waives all our rights as union members, while also providing for little to no economic gain, while stripping many of their right to be included in the union. Thus far, the bargaining committee has rejected their comprehensive proposal each time, yet they continue to reassert it.
