Central Table Bargaining Initial Proposal Webinar
The Central Table Bargaining Committee (CTBC) is hosting two Zoom webinars to share aspects of the draft initial proposal for central table bargaining for 2024.
Members will receive an overview of the opening position for central bargaining, an update on where we are in the bargaining process and information on next steps. You will also have an opportunity to provide feedback.
Two sessions will be offered, but you only need to attend one. If you can’t make it, you will be able to watch a recording on the Bargaining Updates 2024 site.
Register to attend the session of your choice:
