Join Us for our 2023 Coalition Bargaining Kickoff!
It’s time to tell the City to Staff Up San Jose!!!
Our Union Bargaining Team is heading back to the negotiation table with the City in the next month or two. These negotiations will determine all of our wages, benefits and working conditions for the next several years. We will once again be joining forces with IFPTE Local 21, and ABMEI - to collectively bargain in coalition - ensuring we all get the best possible contract!
The time to hear from you, the members of MEF-AFSCME, is now. To that end, we will be holding two kick off meetings to hear from you directly about what you want to see in our next contract. The meetings will both be held on Tuesday, January 24th at the Methodist church across from City Hall from 12:00 - 1:00 and a repeat meeting from 4:00 - 5:00. Food will be provided so please RSVP HERE so that we can order enough for everyone! (See more info below.)
We will also be sending out the Official MEF - AFSCME Bargaining Survey soon. This survey can be used to let your bargaining team know exactly what your priorities are for our next contract and let us know what you're willing to do to support the fight. Keep an eye out for this and make sure you fill it out! These meetings and the survey are your chance to let your union leaders know what you want!
See you there,
Cindy Harlin, MEF President
