For this vote, SHARE members will be required to vote in person. But! You aren’t limited to vote in the building where you work . . . any member can vote at any open vote location.

Although those are the current rules, we appreciate that this can be difficult for employees who work from home, or who may be away from work during this time. We hope to see you in person! We look forward to catching up and being able to answer any questions you may have when you get to the polls.

Summary of the Tentative Agreement
Full Text of the Tentative Agreement

The SHARE Negotiating Team – together with all of you – did our best to bargain with management for what we believe is the best possible agreement for members.

SHARE encourages you to vote “YES!”  

Even more important than that? We simply encourage you to vote. It’s OK if we don’t all agree. Voting sends a clear message to management that members are participating and care about the outcome. 

Your participation during negotiations has already made a real difference. Thank you! Let’s keep it going . . .
