We are happy to announce that Metro and your union have negotiated and extended the contract till Nov 30th

Happy New Years

2011-01-24T10:58:00.001-08:00

Since the election to have a Union at your workplace you have seen two raises ( great news). There has also been questions to what will happen to your wages and working conditions if a new employer takes over the contract. Remember without a Union contract to protect you. Changes could take place. We are still looking for Union Stewards and more participation to keep the Union going. Please do not let this great achievement go to waste.

CONTACT US: (562) 259-9400 and ask for Jeff Finley
