What have unions ever done for us?Produced by MoveOn.org
Contract Ratification Recovery Time. Weekend’s Home. Health Care Benefits. Pension. Pay Raise. Limited or No Consessions.
USU’s bargaining team unanimously supports the newly negotiated Field/HQ contract. The team got the best deal possible given a tough bargaining climate. The tentative contract protects benefits, which was the membership’s highest priority. The contract also increases pay and wins gains on quality of life issues.
Missed weekends home will result in a recovery day. A new joint statement establishes new limitations on AFSCME’s ability to cancel weekend home visits.
The contract is not perfect, but wins gains and has no substantive concessions.The give and take of negotiations resulted in incremental changes on items like the sick leave bank. USU fought off numerous harmful management proposals.
