The Pre-Bargaining Committee met Feb. 19 at Weakley Hall to prepare for IBEW 1245’s general negotiations with Pacific Gas & Electric.
The committee will be officially convened after proposals from members are received during March. In addition to proposals received in March, the committee will examine all proposals received during this same time last year. Those negotiations were put off to this year when members approved a one-year extension of the labor agreements with the company.
After consolidating and analyzing the proposals, the committee will prepare anopening package to be presented to the company in June. PG&E will at the same time present its opening package. Bargaining will then begin in earnest shortly after Labor Day.
