Aug. 25 Red Book Update

The union's Red Book negotiating committee met with the employer this Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately no progress was made. We are still pushing back and going round and round on the employers proposal for "flexible scheduling". We meet again this coming Wednesday, when we will be starting the economic portion of the negotiations, and we're just going to have to roll the unresolved non-economic issues into those discussions. We'll let you know how it goes next week.
