We Won! What’s next?

Continue Building our Communication and Action Team (CAT)

CAT members help build solidarity with our co-workers by making sure all Pitt Staff are getting important info, have someone to go to with questions and know about union achievements and activities.

We’ll continue growing our CAT as part of our contract campaign. Sign-up to learn more about how you can help.

Electing our Bargaining Committee

Our Bargaining Committee is made up of 11 Pitt Staff members that are representative of our diverse membership and supported by USW technical and legal experts. We held open nominations followed by an election for the Bargaining Committee. All Pitt Staff were eligible to be nominated and vote.

Bargaining Survey

We conducted a bargaining survey to get input from the Staff and show the administration we’re all engaged in this process together.

Bargaining Preparation

The Bargaining Committee met regularly to discuss the survey results, determine priorities and develop a bargaining strategy.

Scheduling Bargaining Dates

We reached out to the administration to schedule initial bargaining dates, set ground rules and request important information needed in order to develop our proposals.

Bargaining Begins

Bargaining is ongoing until we reach a full Tentative Agreement (TA) that we will bring back to the membership for a vote. Only members who have signed their union card will be eligible to vote. The TA will be a complete contract covering our pay, benefits, working conditions, health and safety, time off and a contract enforcement process.

You can find updates on negotiations through our text system, e-mail, website and CAT members. Throughout the process, we’ll also ask everyone to step up and show your support for a fair contract.
