Important progress made in Alliance local bargaining

UNAC/UHCP accepts our 21.5% across-the-board wage offer as local bargaining is proving to be a productive path forward.

This week UNAC/UHCP accepted our offer of 21.5% across-the-board wage increases and called off its open-ended strike. Of the 53 local tables, only 8 tables have yet to reach agreement on purely local bargaining topics. We’re continuing to meet and negotiate with each local union over the remaining open issues.

Please watch this short video message from Greg Holmes, chief human resources officer, that addresses our progress and concerns with how the bargaining process is being characterized.

This has been a difficult journey for everyone. But with recent progress, we believe we can reach agreements soon.

We realize there is also work to do, together, to rebuild our Labor Management Partnership — and restore the trust that helped us achieve so much together.
