Future updates will follow the first round of mediated talks. Please keep your eyes and ears open for any events we will be planning in an effort to show solidarity and support amongst our members as we continue to fight for a fair contract. It is extremely important we attend all meetings, rallies, picketing and any other events we may be organizing.
We have sacrificed much for this Company and it is time that those sacrifices are recognized.
In Solidarity,
