IBEW Local 1245’s negotiating committee was scheduled to meet with PG&E’s negotiating committee today. Rather than meet and discuss the Company’s interest in extending the IFPTE-ESC local 20 proposal to our bargaining units, Local 1245 cancelled the meeting and asked that the company come to the table with a proposal that does not include any changes to existing vacation and sick leave language.
Local 1245’s committee spent the day analyzing the different components of the proposal that the ESC is considering and unanimously supported the decision to insist on a proposal that does not include changes to existing vacation and sick leave. Local 1245 has requested a meeting date with the Company as soon as the Company is prepared to make a counter-offer that does not include changes in vacation and sick leave.
