Contract negotiations have begun! Contract Update 5.9.18
Contract negotiations have begun!
Hennepin County AFSCME Locals submitted our opening proposal on Monday, May 7. Both the Master Proposal (changes which impact all of the locals bargaining together) and the supplemental proposals (for the individual bargaining units) are available in full below as PDFs to view/download. These proposals do not include wages and healthcare, which will be bargained later in the process.
The next bargaining day is Monday, May 21 at Minneapolis Central Library, when Hennepin County will give their opening proposal.
Bargaining Dates May-June (more to come):
Monday, May 7, 9AM: Union Opening Proposal
Monday, May 21, 9AM: County Opening Proposal
Thursday, May 31, 9AM: Bargaining Session #1
Tuesday, June 12, 9AM: Bargaining Session #2
Thursday, June 14, 9AM: Bargaining Session #3
Thanks to our table team:

After presenting our proposals, we showed Hennepin County who’s boss at our Contract Campaign Kickoff Rally at the North Plaza of the HC Government Center. It was a beautiful day for a rally! Check out the videos and pictures on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/afscme2822/
