Management actually came back with a wage counterproposal at 6:42pm tonight. And the numbers aren’t too far off. It’s being linked to us accepting management’s proposed change on the sick leave program (which is an improvement over what we have now), but there are still some issues with their proposal. And, honestly, even without asking for more money, we still need to revise their proposal to allocate money to places where our members want it most.
We’ve currently signed off, or are close to signing off, on the last of around twenty-five proposals. Wages and sick leave are left, and we’ve now waded into the weeds on it. We’re prepared to stay tonight as long as we need to.
Unfortunately, management has already told us that any counterproposal we offer will have to be reviewed by management’s bean counters before they accept it, or make a counter themselves. Bottom line: we need another day to get to a deal. Hopefully this week. I’ll update as more information becomes available.
