- At the Mediator’s request, the Employers and UNA have agreed these conversations are on a “without prejudice basis,” meaning if an agreement is not achieved, the positions of the Union and the Employers are as stated on July 11, 2024.

What is a Reporting Meeting?
The Negotiating Committee reports at the meeting about what happened in bargaining. The report could entail (1) We have a tentative agreement, (2) We have a mediators recommendation, or (3) we have reached impasse and will not be able to achieve any further movement without job action. The delegates then discuss and provide direction to the Negotiating Committee on next steps, which could be hold a ratification vote or proceed with steps necessary to hold a strike vote.
