End of Year Wrap Up
End of Year Wrap Up As the Holiday Season approaches and I reflect back on what we have accomplished this year, I feel a lot of pride in our membership. We entered into the year ratifying a collective agreement after one of the hardest rounds of bargaining we have ever faced. You all did that with strength, solidarity and most of all professionalism. You supported your bargaining team so that they could do their best work for you. I was proud to be part of that with you.
