PG&E has already announced remote working will continue to be the norm at PG&E through the rest of 2021. But what will happen when COVID is under control to the point where employees may have the option to work in person or remotely? Please join us Thursday, May 6 at 6pm for a webinar with updates from our lead negotiators, John Mader and Joshua Sperry.  They will recap the status of the Remote Work negotiations: what is being bargained, and what is not?  What is starting to emerge as the future of remote work? 

Our committee had our first meeting with management to develop a framework agreement about remote work once the COVID stay-at-home orders are no longer in place. The meeting was quite positive, and we are pleased that we have many shared interests with management. An ESC Local 20 survey shows that 85% of members who responded said they would like to work from home at least half the time, and 50% said they would like to work at home full time.

While we strive to celebrate Black History year-round, in recognition of Black History Month, we want to take the opportunity to feature some incredible Black labor leaders at ESC Local 20. Read on to meet some of ESC Local 20 Black member leaders, past and present, who broke barriers and fought — and continue to fight— for economic mobility, stability, and equity on the job.
