Good afternoon, everyone,

We are getting closer to contract negotiations, including discussions about raises and improving our wages. This will be an important process for our Local, and we are going to need everyone’s support and participation.

Under our CBA, the wage reopener is effective February 1, 2027. Negotiations are scheduled to begin approximately 90 days before January 21, 2027, which is around October 23, 2026. The agreement also requires the parties to negotiate the rates at least 60 days before the effective date.

As we move into this process, unity and participation will be important. We need members to stay informed, communicate their concerns, and remain engaged throughout negotiations.

The stronger and more united we are as a Local, the more effectively we can present our priorities and advocate for wages that reflect the cost of living and the work we do.

What We Ask From Everyone

• Stay informed about the negotiations.

• Share your concerns and priorities with the Union.

• Stay involved throughout the negotiation process.

• Support your fellow members and maintain solidarity.

We will continue keeping everyone updated as we move forward and will communicate important developments as negotiations progress.

Thank you for your continued support, participation, and solidarity.

UNITED WE STAND STRONG

Regards,

Jeison Santana
Executive Vice President
