The Negotiating Committee has reached a tentative agreement with Essentia. Copies of the TA have been mailed out to everyone in the Green Book, along with info about how to vote. You can also view an online copy of the TA at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UI4MvSFEmbkeKkJck3Nvaon_6GsAKyCY/view?usp=sharing
The highlights are there would be an 8% raise over the three year life of the contract (2% for year one, 3% for year two and 3% for year three + the step increases that already come with the 20 year grid), workers will not be mandated or floated to do work outside of their classification, and if any Clinical Assistants from outside of the Main campus are mandated to work there, they will receive a bonus. Stay tuned for info on the meetings.
We will be holding informational meetings on the TA. There will be an online meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 5:30pm. The link is https://shorturl.at/CTuRp with a meeting ID of 812 1933 0812 and a passcode of yx4Ad5. However, you can attend in person (Room 202 of the Duluth Labor Temple) if you prefer. An in person only meeting will also be held on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 5:30pm in Hall A of the Duluth Labor Temple (2002 London Road).
