Duquesne Club Bargaining Report #3

Negotiations resumed today with your Bargaining Team receiving some initial responses from the Club on your proposals.

• The Club rejected our Wage Proposal “format” and will provide a counter proposal as the Contract starts to come together.
• The Club rejected our Premium Pay Proposal.
• The Club showed some interest in 401K improvements, but was not specific.
• The Club indicated interest in improving the Shoe allowance and including additional titles.
• The Club also rejected our Work Week Build Up proposal.
• Agreement was reached on the Safety committee and 4th floor Bar.
• We also had a high Level review of the Health Plan alternatives. A more detailed meeting is set for Friday.

We will continue to press the Club to address the issues that our CWA Membership has deemed to be necessary for a fair and comprehensive agreement.

Don’t be shy; let ‘em know how important and serious you are in obtaining a good contract for you and your family.

Thank you for your continuing support!
