“We were pretty happy about the contract,” said Alissa Norton, a steward and a member of the negotiating committee. “Everything seemed fair. There were a few things that we wanted that we didn’t get but it was a good contract overall. We got to keep all our rights and the raise was our biggest achievement.”
The term of the contract is July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 and covers 14 members.
The negotiating committee consisted of members, Alissa Norton, Danielle Mitchell, and Union Representative Dustin Magee.
