Contract Action Center

We won a contract that respects us, protects us, and pays us!

After more than four months of intensive negotiations, with support from thousands of Local 1000- represented workers, we won the largest contract in our union’s history.

Members really made the difference, and they’re the ones that helped bring this contract home. It’s a contract that puts more money in our pockets and improves working conditions. We won a 10% general salary increase, special salary and wage adjustments for more than 300 job classifications, a health care stipend and a reduction in pre-retirement deductions.
