The workers at @LawyersComm deserve a fair and equitable contract! Tell @LawyersComm and @DamonTHewitt to return to the bargaining table and sign a contract NOW!

Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts at pressuring Management over these past few weeks! Thanks to your support, we are happy to report that Management has come back to the bargaining table with a substantive counter.
#unitedforafaircontract #solidarityforgood
But the fight is not over yet. We will continue to push for a fair contract and a timely resolution to this bargaining process. Your continued support is crucial as we enter this last phase of bargaining. We deserve a fair and equitable CBA, now!

Today LCU members boycotted our staff meeting and summer BBQ in protest of Management's failure to bargain for over 6 MONTHS. It's been more than FOUR YEARS since we unionized.
We are united for a fair contract! @LawyersComm @DamonTHewitt where are you?
We demand @LawyersComm return to bargaining after 3+ months of untenable delays
Since bargaining started in 2021, we’ve reached tentative agreements on almost everything but salary, which itself has been on the table since late ‘22.
The delays by @LawyersComm are robbing our members of CBA protections we have fought for since 2020. We deserve a fair contract, now! #1u #UnionStrong
