With national contract negotiations set to begin on June 25, President Mark Dimondstein has announced the names of the APWU members who will serve on the Rank-and-File Bargaining Advisory Committee. In accordance with the APWU Constitution, each member of the National Executive Board appoints one person to the committee; a 14th member, appointed by the president, is a member of the Deaf/ Hard of Hearing Task Force.
The APWU National Negotiations Committee (NNC) has full authority to negotiate the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement. The Rank-and-File Bargaining Advisory Committee provides recommendations to the NNC. The Rank-and-File Committee must approve a tentative collective bargaining agreement before it can be sent to APWU members for a ratification vote.
