LATEST BARGAINING NEWS

The Main Street Project - Local 136 Bargaining Committee began negotiations with the employer re: monetary proposals, like wages and benefits, in the fall of 2022.

When the employer presented a unsatisfactory monetary offer, the Committee recommended that members reject it, and the membership voted to overwhelmingly to reject the employer's offer. The Bargaining Committee then advised the employer that they wished to return to the table to see if a better settlement could be negotiated.

Bargaining is scheduled to continue throughout February and March 2023.
