ASI Long Beach Bargaining Update: Significant Progress But We Need to Push Management to Agree to Higher Wages
Our ASI staff bargaining team continues to make progress on our union contract with agreements around non-discrimination language and posting job vacancies. Now we need to take action outside bargaining sessions to keep management focused on settling a strong contract with higher wages.
Management has tried to divide us throughout these contract negotiations, without success. We need to show management that we are united, so keep wearing your blue shirts, hats, bandanas, and pins every Wednesday.
“Management agreed on a lot of contract language today and that gives me hope for negotiating better wages. But hope isn’t a strategy. We will win together.
We’re ASI, bargaining alongside our stateside and Beach Shops coworkers, who are fighting for their own contracts. Management tried to break us by handing wage increases to some workers and not others, hoping we’d turn on each other. Management tried to break us with delays and union busting tactics. It hasn’t worked. We’re united, building momentum, and we’re going to win this together.”
