We are excited to share that our new union contract was ratified by majority. We are working to get the document finalized and updated on our website.
New wage rates are effective immediately, and retro-pay to January is being worked on by payroll. Keep an eye on your paystubs for your bonus and retro payment! Our team is working to finalize the contract for upload on our website. This process can take up to two to three weeks, even though the changes are effective immediately.
Thanks again to our strong bargaining unit and our bargaining team representatives: GB Woolf, Lisa Rose, Jo Aponte, Marilyn Flynn, April Condell-Stark, and Skye Johnson.
Even though bargaining is over, we still hope to see you soon! Click here to check out our upcoming events.
