The membership has spoken in a unified voice and has overwhelmingly voted in favor of ratifying the contract.
Thank you to all of the members of the A&R Negotiations Committee for all your hours of hard work to deliver this contract to the membership. Thank you to the A&R stewards who rallied the members and got the message out. Most importantly, thank you to all of the rank and file A&R members who turned out to participate in this contract vote. Without your participation, none of these improvements to our contract would become a reality. The union draws its strength directly from the membership. We thank all members who participated in the process of making our contract a better vehicle for our employment. We thank everyone who participated in the collective bargaining process.
This is not finalized. The next and final step in the process is for the contract to be voted upon by the Legislature - which is certainly not a given. We are urging all A&R members to contact their State Repressentative and Senator to tell them to vote in favor of the state contracts.
