PSCo Negotiation Update:

Despite the Union's best efforts to get a contract agreed to before the expiration tonight, the sides were unable to reach an agreement. 

Over multiple sessions, the sides met to hammer out an agreement. At the end of the day, the sides were still a ways apart on multiple items. 

With no agreement being made, Article 25 of the contract goes into effect.

It reads...

ARTICLE 25

TERM OF AGREEMENT

3. In the event the parties fail to reach a mutual agreement on such proposed changes or amendments by the annual expiration or renewal date, the Agreement will be extended for a period of sixty (60) calendar days to allow for further negotiations.

Both sides have agreed to put more dates on the calendar to further the negotiation process.

Please visit the union hall or contact your Business Rep with any questions.

In Solidarity,

The Supreme Court blocked the OSHA ETS standard for Covid Vaccines and testing. The Supreme Court held that those challenging the ETS were likely to succeed on their argument that OSHA lacked the authority to promulgate the ETS.  As the Court explained, under the law, OSHA is empowered to “set workplace safety standards, not broad public health measures”.
