What is a Bargaining Team?
Bargaining Teams are now being formed for the 2020 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 City time, but bargaining team members must be prepared to meet frequently on their own time to develop proposals and plan actions.
