Emcon: Employer makes unacceptable wage offer

Your negotiating team met the employer on October 15 and 16 for bargaining.  

We arrived ready to fight for the improvements we deserve. We responded to the employer’s proposal with a comprehensive package. We focused on significant wage increases, improved benefits, overtime payment, cell phone cost reimbursement, and shift premiums.

Rather than responding to the entire package, the employer’s counter only contained wages. Your team reviewed the new wage offer and responded with what we felt was a fair compromise that still compensated us fairly for our work. The employer’s rebuttal did not meet our needs.  

The employer was clear – their latest unacceptable wage offer was their last and final offer. We are not willing to accept it, so we will apply for formal mediation. We will continue to update you as mediation begins.

You can see both our position and the employer's position here: 

Please reach out to a member of your negotiating team with any questions or concerns.
