We have less than 72 hours left before our contract expires. This week, we are determined to get a fair deal on the table and sign it. Here's what we're still fighting for. #1u (1/6) Many of our employees are made to live in expensive cities that have been hard hit by the country's still-uncertain economic situation.

1/ After weeks of bargaining, we’re proud to say we’ve made progress with management on many key issues. We’re also, frankly, dismayed by how management has responded to one critical request: They’re rejecting our proposal for union security in our contract.

That means that any union member can choose not to pay dues, while still receiving full benefits from the union.
