Physical Contract Negotiations with PG&E Conclude; PG&E’s “Best and Final” Offer Will Go to Members

August 12, 2026

Brothers and Sisters,

Following the recent vote in which the Physical Table Agreement was not ratified, your Physical Bargaining Committee returned to the negotiating table with the Company to present the feedback from members.

On behalf of the Physical Unit, the Committee advocated for additional improvements addressing the areas that members identified as most important. Specifically, the Committee proposed increases in GWI, retroactivity to all Wage Adjustments, and DT for OT.

This morning, the Company informed your Bargaining Committee that it has no interest in making further improvements to the Physical Table Agreement. The Company rejected the Committee’s proposals and instead presented the Committee with its “Best and Final” offer.

At the bargaining table, your Committee made clear that they would not recommend a “yes” vote on a contract that was of equal or lesser value than the agreement previously presented to the membership. The Company chose to stand on its “Best and Final” offer.

Based on the Company’s response the Physical Bargaining Committee has therefore decided to take a neutral position regarding how members should vote on the Company’s “Best and Final” offer.

The decision now rests with the members of the Physical Unit. We encourage every eligible member to review the Company’s offer and cast your ballot based on what you believe is in the best interests of you, your family, and the Physical Bargaining Unit as a whole.

The Company’s “Best and Final” offer, along with the bargaining timeline and voting timeline, has been posted on our website for members to review.

Your participation in this ratification process is essential. Regardless of your position on the offer, we encourage every eligible member to make your voice heard by casting a ballot.

In solidarity,

Bob Dean
