The UE Bargaining Committee will be meeting with Hallcon officials in Chicago, Thursday September 22nd and Friday September 23rd. Wages, PTO and Longevity pay are some of the final sticking points. Our fight for fair wages is not done
Our extension of the contract expires at 11:59 pm on Friday September 23. The bargaining committee hopes to have a complete package for members to vote on or after the 23rd. We do not know at this time if we will recommend a yes or a no vote, but you need to know what comes next
