Meetings Set To Ratify Guild’s Contract Proposal

We’ve scheduled meetings around the United States so Guild members can learn about and ratify our contract proposals in advance of negotiations, which are set to begin by the end of October. These proposals are based largely on responses to the survey we sent out in September. At these meetings, you’ll be able to ask questions and voice concerns. Unit Chair Debby Zabarenko, Guild Representative John Phillips and/or New York Guild Secretary-Treasurer Peter Szekely will be there to discuss the proposals.

The proposals must be ratified by our members before negotiations begin, and we will hold ratification votes at these meetings. For those who are not in the cities listed below, we’ll try to set up telephone conference calls so you can listen in to a meeting.
