GE WORKERS UNITED UPDATE. BACK TO THE BARGAINING TABLE

From GE Workers United Facebook:

We have been in talks with GE concerning dates to return to the bargaining table. We were able to secure August the 12th as our starting date. The end date was not discussed, obviously, and will depend on GE’s willingness to address the members’ concerns. We will give a daily update—we will not wait until negotiations are over to give daily updates on our efforts to secure the best contract for our members that we can.

Lynn Votes NO!  Tentative Agreement Rejected!

Members of Local 201 in Lynn, MA and Local 301 in Schenectady, NY voted to REJECT the Tentative Agreement between the IUE and the General Electric Company yesterday.  We are awaiting communication from IUE-CWA for more details, including the final tally from all IUE-CWA GE sites.  For now, report to work as usual and prepare for a strike.  Neither side has served a termination letter, meaning we are still working under our National Agreement per the contract:
