While 500 ESC members attended our webinar discussing the status and outlook of Remote Work negotiations, we know many more who wanted the information could not. This recap covers the information presented during the webinar and is up to date as of May 12, 2021.

The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers’ (IFPTE) executive officers applauded today’s Executive Order by President Biden establishing a White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment. “This latest news of the creation of a White House Task Force dedicated toward empowering working Americans seeking to organize unions and collectively bargain will ensure that this will continue to be a front and center issue for years to come.”

Earlier this month, we proposed a 5% per year increase for 3 years — on Thursday, management REJECTED our proposal and only offered 1% for 6 months, then 0.5% for the next 6 months, repeated for three years. Over the next few weeks, we will continue to fight for a fair contract, and it is more important than ever to stay in contact, so be sure to sign up for important union updates today!
