Negotiations Update: 8/10/23

Aug 10, 2023 | Local S6 Leadership Alerts, Negotiations

Brothers and Sisters,

We appreciate everyone’s patience with our updates. We have been working late to gain as much as we can, remaining committed to arriving at the best outcome on the articles that impact us financially.

Substantial progress has been made but we are still bargaining on Article 19: Compensation and Article 49: Attendance at Work. 

When we have arrived at agreements on these last two (2) articles, we will share the eagerly anticipated details with the membership. We want every member to have ample time to understand the changes, but we are more focused on presenting a quality contract than a quickly assembled contract. 

As always, we deeply appreciate your continued support.

In Solidarity, Local Lodge S6 Negotiating Committee

2023 Negotiations: Day 8

Brothers and Sisters,

Now that all the articles are on the negotiating table, we have a higher frequency of proposals going back and forth as we start to work heavily with our economic package. We came to tentative agreements on two (2) more articles today.  

Today we reached tentative agreements on: 

  • Article 27: While Assigned Rates
  • Classification Task Lists

We will pick up the process first thing Monday. We hope everyone has a great weekend.

As always, thank you for your support. 

* Tentative Agreements may be subject to change.

2023 Negotiations: Day 7

Brothers and Sisters,

Today we had initial discussions about the following:

  • Article 17: Holidays, 
  • Article 22: Pension Plan, 
  • Article 35: General Dynamics Stock Savings and Investment Plan.

Today we reached tentative agreements on:*

  • Article 7: Classifications
  • Article 20: Wellness Program
  • Article 29: Bereavement.    

This marks the first time we’ve had conversations on the economic package for the contract. We are now engaged in talks on every remaining article that has not been tentatively agreed on. The team continues working hard and remains dedicated to the process. We desire to bring home the best contract for the membership. Updates will keep coming as they become available.

* Tentative Agreements may be subject to change.
