Volunteer to help spread the word about AB 1421. The Local 132 Hotline has been receiving a large number of messages recently regarding the Company's proposal to pay retroactive wage increases on employees' June 4 pay checks. The majority of members have expressed that they would prefer to receive their retroactive pay on a separate check. Due to the enormous response from our members, this issue will be addressed with the Joint Steering Committee on Tuesday. Our members also requested clarification of the Union's position regarding seniority.
Seniority is the only benefit that all members share in common.
Seniority is the only preference the Union recognizes for promotions, layoffs, selection of shift assignments, overtime and for any other condition of employment not precluded by law. The Union protects the seniority of our members through negotiations, arbitrations and grievances. We disagree with replacing seniority with merit or any other consideration. We have proposed that all training be provided in seniority order. Under this administration, Local 132 will continue to protect this basic, fundamental Union value.
