Starlight’s contract is open for negotiations. A 3% per year wage increase was ratified by the membership last year. Now we will bargain benefits and the rest of the contract. As union members, we have a voice on how decisions are made at the workplace. Now is our chance to speak up. We need to know what matters most to you before we begin negotiating our contract. The purpose of this survey is for you to tell your negotiating team what is most important in your union contract. This will help the negotiating team identify goals and priorities. Individual survey responses will not be shared with management. Once the majority of our coworkers have completed the survey, we will identify our priorities and prepare “opening proposals” to present to management at the bargaining table. We strongly encourage you to devote time to this survey and think about what is important to you, our families, and for the community we serve.
Remember, strong contracts are not won at the bargaining table—they are won when we show strength and unity at the worksite. Let’s go!
Please complete and submit this survey by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 6.
In Unity,
Your Negotiating Team
