Members are concerned with the priorities management is pushing at the table, including: Drastic reductions in retirement benefits, Increased use of temporary employees, Changes to our comp time system that would make uncompensated many additional hours of work that we regularly do outside of our contract hours Wage increases that do not meet the rising cost of living, let alone make up for nearly a decade without a contractual raise. These priorities do not respect the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication of our WBNG siblings. Union contracts negotiated at the AFL-CIO should set the standard for how workers should be treated, but management’s priorities fall far short. These are the kinds of proposals we expect to see from Corporate America, not from the management of the AFL-CIO. Stand in solidarity with the AFL-CIO bargaining unit of WBNG and demand that management return to the table with the intent to reach a contract that represents our collective values as members of the union movement. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/solidarity-with-afl-cio-workers
