KP Negotiations to Begin

Our National Agreement with KP expires September 30th, 2012 and our Union is beginning preparations for the upcoming bargain for a new contract. Our Union held the first of several, "Town Hall Meetings" on January 4th, 2012; additional meetings have also been scheduled. Issues regarding the upcoming negotiations will be discussed and Members are encouraged to attend. Additionally, the Coalition of KP Unions has created a survey in which Union Members may rate the importance of various bargaining issues. In order to have your voice heard, I suggest attending one of the union's town hall meetings and/or sending an email to the Union office with your comments/concerns in regards to new contract questions, concerns and/or suggestions.
