Tuesday, October 09, 2007

San Francisco - Members of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area bargaining unit met with UPEC and LIUNA staff today at a welcome reception held in the Marin headlands. This is the beginning of several worksite visits UPEC staff is planning in order to meet with employees of three bargaining units in the San Francisco area. UPEC accepted the three (3) bargaining units in July 2007 that were previously assigned to LIUNA Local 36. Business Manager Chris Darker and LIUNA International Rep. Bill Keeton were on hand at today’s event to welcome employees. Both LIUNA and UPEC believe these members are a great fit with Local 792. “We have a full plate of negotiations and grievances and the staff is already getting positive results”, stated Darker. Chris Darker and UPEC Senior Negotiator Steve Allen will meet with the bargaining team for the Presidio Trust Unit tomorrow morning to map out their negotiations proposal’s.
