State Looking to Begin Negotiations with A&R
In recent weeks A&R sent 2 letters to the State demanding contract negotiations for a successor agreement. The State has responded and is seeking dates to meet with A&R. At that initial meeting "ground rules" for the contract negotiations will be established. We do not have that initial date set as of yet, but will keep you updated. Chief Negotiator Christine Buck along with Vice President Mike Myles and President John DiSette are seeking to have that initial meeting with the State either in late October or early November.
