February 2022 Bargaining Round-Up

American Red Cross – National Addendum

In February, the National Coalition bargaining the American Red Cross Addendum reported:

In person bargaining resumed last week with Red Cross. We are near the end as only scheduling and economics remain on the table. We had discussions over health care with the Red Cross giving us an overview of their health care plans. We received some information from Teamcare to help us explore other health care plans and are working on that. The Union submitted a counter proposal on Article 8 Uniforms and Breaks and Scheduling Articles 9 & 10. We signed a tentative agreement on Article 17 and on Appendix A. New dates are February 24th virtual, week of March 7 for health care subcommittee, week of March 21 and March 28 in person bargaining.
