Negotiation Plan

As representatives of the Local H-56 of the International Union of Service Workers, the following are the bargaining subjects included in our negotiation:

  • Length of Contract
  • Wages
  • Health Insurance: 92% of union workers have job-related health coverage versus 68% of non-union workers.
  • Retirement: Union workers are more likely to have guaranteed pensions than non-union employees
  • Vacations and Holidays 
  • Maternity leave
  • Work schedules visibility

These key points are important to discuss in order to attain a Labor Contract that will benefit both parties involved.
