What is a Bargaining Team?
Bargaining Teams are now being formed for the 2016 Contract Negotiations. A Bargaining Team is a committee of Local 721 members who are elected to lead Local 721’s bargaining campaign. Bargaining Teams work with Local 721 members to identify issues and develop contract proposals. Bargaining Teams meet with Management to negotiate over contract proposals. Most importantly, bargaining teams help to build our Contract Action Teams at the workplace to keep all Local 721 members informed about the progress of bargaining and to move Local 721 members into action to win the best contract possible.
Bargaining generally takes place on County time, but bargaining team members must be prepared to meet frequently on their own time to develop proposals and plan actions.
Nominations:
– You may nominate yourself or any other Local 721 member by completing the Nomination Form below, including Candidate Statement.
– This is not a ballot. Only one nomination per candidate is necessary. Submitting more than one nomination form for the same candidate will not increase his/her chance of winning a seat.
– Nominations must be received at Local 721 by Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 5pm.
Elections
An election will be conducted after Thursday, March 31, 2016 if the number of candidates exceeds the number of available seats on the Bargaining Team.
