We want to hear from you

As we prepare for bargaining, it is our long-standing practice to hold meetings with employees of the different departments which the Guild represents at The Sun. At these meetings, which are in addition to the questionnaire we circulated in January, you tell us what issues are most important to you in this round of negotiations for a new contract. (The questionnaires are still being tabulated.)

These meetings are, generally, an hour long and are designed so you can come on a break for the whole time or just long enough to say what you want to say. If you can't make the meeting for your department, or if your work group isn't listed below, look for the "general meeting" below and try to come to that. Late-night and early morning sessions at Sun Park will be announced later. Meetings (except for bureaus) will be held in the cafeteria.
