The vote to ratify the initial bargaining goals is scheduled to close today, (Monday, June 16) at 5pm. As the ROCS-UAW bargaining committee, we urge everyone to ratify these goals so that we have as much power as possible to improve our working conditions during negotiations for our first contract.
To develop these goals we used feedback from bargaining surveys filled out by a majority of senior researchers, discussions during town halls, and hundreds of conversations since we started forming our union. The goals are purposely ambitious and broad, based on a conceptual agenda that includes all the issues raised throughout our campaign. In the coming weeks, the bargaining committee will prepare more specific proposals that address each of these goals in detail. We are very excited to have these goals as a foundation to build on, and your continued feedback to guide us, as we develop concrete contract language on all of these topics in the lead-up to our negotiations with the Sinai administration.
