This morning, the Company emailed and hand-delivered its “Comprehensive Offer for Settlement” where we put our best foot forward to try to reach an agreement. The Company proposal is compelling in many ways, with significant enhancements for all employees and a first-ever one week off with pay from 10/5-10/11 if it is voted and ratified by midnight 10/4.
The Union has refused to meet with us to review or respond to our Comprehensive Offer for Settlement, and has not made any counterproposals but we remain ready, willing and able to bargain.
At 3:30 PM the union gave their strike notice and informed us that their bargaining committee intends to leave the negotiations location tomorrow morning.
