*** New for this contract*** This will be the first time that we will be providing regular updates during the negotiation process. Historically, there has been a total blackout on all information during the talks. Due to the nature of contract negotiations, detailed and specific information cannot be provided. However, we can provide some generalized information about how talks are progressing and Articles discussed on a regular basis. We will be posting those updates here with alerts being pushed out via text or email to those that have signed up.
