UMMC NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
MANAGEMENT REFUSES UNION OFFER
In negotiations today your negotiating
committee put forward a groundbreaking proposal in an effort to
move negotiations forward. We proposed a new wage scale that we
tied to management withdrawing their concessionary proposals on:
- Deletion of our Defined Pension
Plan
- Reduction in benefit time
- Increasing our costs for Health
Insurance
- Ending Union paid time
Our wage proposal is:
- A three year contract
- 5% increase each year
- New step increases at 5% (rather
than the present 6.8%)
Management responded saying they would
not consider dropping their concessionary demands and that our wage
proposal was too expensive. Your negotiating committee was angered
by the management response. In our next session on July 14th management
will be presenting a counter proposal on wages while they continue
to demand concessions.
