NTU Update - April 21
Colleagues,
1) Contract Update: The NTU Negotiations Committee met several days over vacation to work around some roadblocks to the contract's progress. For the entire week this week, internal meetings amongst committee members, and negotiations meetings with NPS were held. As of now, we can only firmly state that we have reached tentative agreements on the following:
1. We have reviewed and cleaned up language that was conflicting in the previous CBA.
2. We have a tentative agreement language and terms for the new CBA.
