• HACCEA negotiations committee and HACC management agreed on a timeline for a draft CBA to be reviewed by both parties: 4/14.

Dear colleagues,
We continue to have improved negotiations meetings. The first three subgroups have completed their meetings; any work in those areas is being completed asynchronously.
The final subgroup will be scheduled soon.
The HACCEA negotiations committee and HACC management have created a timeline for the completion of this work: Monday (4/14). The intent is to present this draft for a vote by our HACCEA union members. If that happens, the HACCEA negotiations team will present the draft CBA in two town halls during the week of 4/21.

To be clear, we are still not in full agreement. Both parties, however, are aware that approval from both parties is needed.

More details on this timeline and next steps will be provided at the upcoming HACCEA general meeting scheduled for Monday (3/31) at 6pm. This general meeting will be open to all bargaining unit members. Please make every effort to attend for the discussion of the timeline and next steps.

Any town hall regarding the draft CBA and potential vote will be restricted to HACCEA union members only.

In solidarity,
HACCEA Negotiations Team
