Emcon: Formal mediation begins in December
Bargaining Update for Local 118 Chapters 024, 025, 027, Emcon
Nov 14, 2025
Your negotiating team filed for formal mediation after the employer’s last—and final—unacceptable wage offer. We will meet with the mediator on Dec. 8 and 9 and, if necessary, December 18 and 19.
What happens next
Ideally, mediation will result in a tentative agreement which we can bring to you for a ratification vote.
If mediation does not result in a deal, or if recommendations are not made by the mediator, we will enter a 14-day cooling off period. After the cooling off period ends, we will be in a position to take a strike vote.
Please talk with your coworkers about your options if we do not reach a deal through mediation. It is important that we stand together and fight for the wages and benefits we deserve.
Please watch for further updates in the coming weeks.
