Our Bargaining Team and CAT

The bargaining team will be made up of City of Napa part-time temporary co-workers we elect to sit down with management and negotiate our first contract. At our upcoming meetings, we will nominate bargaining team members and then have elections. The CAT (Contract Action Team) will work with the bargaining team to get information about bargaining to all union members. CAT members are selected on a volunteer basis.

Bargaining Team Member responsibilities:

• Attend all bargaining sessions (to be scheduled with the employer at a later date). This may require meeting outside of normal work hours.

CAT Team Member responsibilities:

• Work with the bargaining team to develop consistent messages and updates about bargaining.

• Pass out and post the latest information about bargaining at the worksite.

• Meet regularly with other CAT members to develop consistent messages to pass out at each worksite.• Work with other bargaining team members to make and modify bargaining proposals.

• Work with CAT members to ensure that information and updates about bargaining are shared.
