Bargaining stalls over monetary proposals, next bargaining dates are May 13 & 14
April 3, 2025
Your Local 4 bargaining committee met with the company on March 31 and April 1 to continue negotiations. While there was movement on both sides, talks stalled over monetary proposals, and no tentative deal was reached.
The next bargaining dates are set for May 13 and 14, 2025. The company’s latest offer falls short of what members asked for, and your committee remains committed to securing a better deal.
(Below) Not every moment of bargaining is spent directly across the table from the company. While employer representatives reviewed our latest proposal, GSU’s bargaining committee used that time to assess Local 4’s position, analyze company proposals, and plan the next steps.
