Bargaining resumed today and it looks like nothing has changed since the contract expiration.

There were no formal meetings that took place today. The Company and Union spent the day reviewing the proposals that are still open and the counter proposals that were passed across the table yesterday.

The Union met several times with the Company today to address the unresolved issues that still remain open. The Union passed new proposals on Article 22-Vacations and Article 24-Excused Days with Pay. We are still attempting to improve upon the existing language and to address the restrictions surrounding both articles to allow for more flexibility and improvement.

After yet another failed attempt at reaching a new tentative agreement before contract expiration, the Company and Union agreed to extend the contract. This means that the terms and conditions of the current contract will remain in effect while bargaining continues.
