Union to Hold ‘Round Robin’ Contract Conferences

The national APWU will host a series of discussions about the 2006-2010 Collective Bargaining Agreement with local and state officers in locations around the country, union President William Burrus has announced.

“These meetings present an important opportunity for local leaders — who work in the trenches enforcing the contract — to confer with negotiators and other national officers about the terms of the new agreement,” he said.

“Many questions have been raised about the application of the Collective Bargaining Agreement,” Burrus said. “The union and management are preparing a set of Questions and Answers that we jointly agree on. But there is no substitute for direct interaction with the local and state officers.

“These meetings will give our local leaders the opportunity to address questions in a union-only environment,” he said.
