Standing Strong: Help Us Fight for AMEA Members at City Council!

AMEA member,

On Wednesday, Nov. 5 the AMEA Negotiations team met with the City for another bargaining session.

At our last meeting, we countered with a strong wage proposal, extra compensation for long-serving employees, and further benefits for AMEA members and their families. We're all eager to reach a deal that meets the needs of our members and their families. We are close but not quite there and want to make sure City Council members hear directly from us.

Our counterproposal will be presented to the City Council during closed session on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at approximately 3:30 p.m.! Closed session is where the City Council deliberates in private on important matters such as City labor negotiations.

To ensure our voices reach the City Council, AMEA Executive Committee and Board members will speak during the Closed Session's public comment. Please attend outside work hours or on your own time with approval if possible.

We have a chance to speak directly to the City Council before they deliberate on our negotiations. Join us and show that we are united!

In Solidarity,

Team AMEA
