Unit 18 Bargaining Update #7

Colleagues:

Forgive the delay in writing with Update #7. This update will be mercifully brief. Last week, one of the main UC management team had a death in the family. We therefore cancelled bargaining, and are next scheduled to meet on 11-12 July and then on five other days in July. The first meeting will be an important meeting, and you should expect to hear from us very soon thereafter, given that the contract is scheduled to expire on 31 July.  There will be more to say at that time.
