MEMBERSHIPE CONTRACT VOTE ANTICIPATED
BE CERTAIN YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
Contract negotiations are nearly finalized. A&R has reached tentative agreement with the state on a variety of contract language changes. With no outstanding issues concerning our contract left to resolve, we expect that final talks over wages will occur in the coming week(s) at SEBAC. Although nearly finalized, coalition bargaining will not continue until all issues are resolved at all bargaining tables. We remain confident in the process and support those unions in our coalition still fighting for a fair contract at the table. In the meantime, A&R is making preparations to hold a membership vote on the contract. The vote will be held on line. Voting credentials will be physically mailed to your home.
IMPORTANT!
All active members of the A&R union get to participate in the ratification vote. We want to ensure all A&R members have the opportunity to vote on the contract so if you have not enrolled as an A&R member, please do so by using this link to our online registration. We will be communicating with A&R members via this website, and via email blasts to your home email. If in the past, you have not been receiving A&R e-blasts, it is for one of two reasons:
- because we do not have your personal email address link to simply update your email
- because we do not have you listed as an A&R member link for membership enrollment
Prior to a membership vote, in addition to the e-blasts and web publications, we will hold several informational meetings via Zoom. These Zoom meetings will be interactive, allowing members to ask questions of the leadership team. As always, we are available by phone or email to respond to your questions.
