Negotiations continued on April 14th, 15th and 16th, in Houston. Although the schedule had only three days for this session, it was a productive week.

We continued with Article 10, Leaves of Absence, and with further discussion and counter proposals were able to reach a tentative agreement on this article. We then proceeded with the union’s first proposal on Article 3, Classifications and Bid Areas. The company had a number of questions regarding the union proposal and there was some productive discussion.

Negotiations are scheduled to resume on May 3rd.

In Solidarity,

Bob Luciano
