Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In preparation for the upcoming contract vote this Sunday July 24th, we want the membership to understand why we recommend rejecting the Company’s “best and final offer”.
The Company’s initial proposals were rock bottom and borderline insulting. After weeks of bargaining and hard work from your Negotiating Committee, the Company’s last offer still falls short of what you deserve!
Your Negotiating Committee proposed GWI’s (general wage increase), Wage progression, and Retirement gains that reflect a fair and equitable contract. The company has offered subpar GWI’s, no change in wage progression, and take aways in the 401k.
The Negotiating Committee stands by their recommendation to, #1 vote- “REJECT” on this offer and #2 vote- “YES” to strike!
We’ll see you all at the St. Charles Family Arena this Sunday July 24th.
The Family Arena, 2002 Arena Parkway, Saint Charles, MO 63303
Doors open at 9am and meeting starts promptly at 10am!
Please arrive early to allow ample time to park, check-in and ballot distribution.
DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED!
Fraternally,
Tom Boelling
President/Directing
