Some Progress at the Table.
Yet, Still Far Apart.
July 2, 2026 · Bargaining Update

Today your bargaining team went back to the table and came away with real progress on the issues you’ve been fighting for.
Break Relief: BMP Program: After months of pushing, sometimes it even takes a picket—management has moved on break relief. We’re closing in on break relief language that addresses the units hit hardest by missed breaks.
Health & Safety / Security: We pushed management on security at the entrances. We’re making sure the policy isn’t just on paper. It needs to be enforced every entrance, every shift.
Economics: Some Movement: Management came to the table with an economic proposal. We’re seeing movement, and your bargaining team is continuing to push for compensation that reflects your value.
More Proposals on the Table. The team sent management a floating proposal along with several other outstanding items. We’re moving. We’re pushing. And we’re not letting up.
Stay tuned — your bargaining team is working hard to bring you a contract you can be proud of.
