YUFA President Art Redding reports on two important developments in bargaining: YUFA has applied for a conciliator and the Executive Committee will bring to the GMM on September 17 a motion on a possible strike mandate vote.

"We believe that these two steps—conciliation and positioning ourselves for a strike mandate vote—have the potential to kick-start the bargaining process, and to focus the attention of the Employer," says Redding. "We remain committed to reaching a negotiated settlement, but we need to give our Bargaining Team the leverage they need to get a fair deal."

"The contract we negotiate in the next few weeks will determine your work conditions," says Redding. "And the strength of that contract depends on your support."
