Bargaining Update: Ballots for Vote on Tentative Agreement to Be Mailed to Members Soon

We have completed a summary of the Tentative Agreement reached with the State. For the Tentative Agreement to be ratified, a members’ vote must be taken. Of the votes received, a majority is needed to ratify the Tentative Agreement as proposed. A copy of the summary and a ballot with instructions will be mailed to members’ last known address by January 13, 2017.
Ballots will be due by February 1, 2017. Members of the Negotiation T.E.A.M. will be scheduling work site meetings throughout the state during the three week period to answer questions and provide details of the Tentative Agreement.
