The vote will be held on Friday, 20 May from 0700 to 1900 in the Fantasia J-Q ballrooms at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Contrary to the Full Time vote, all STCU union members will vote at the same location.
Thanks for the update. I'm supposed to be on the negotiating committee for the CR contract, and this is the first I've heard that there was a meeting being held.
<sigh>
See if I let them use my name for this *next* time!

It wasn't so much as a meeting, as it was everyone getting together and saying that almost all the provisions of the Full Time agreement now apply to CRs.
I don't get why TPTB just don't copy California and negotiate a single CBA for everyone. It would save everyone the hassle of having to negotiate the same things twice and then put more or less the same contract up to a vote twice

The California Unions have a different thing going on. Not only is their base pay higher (as is their cost of living), those Unions are also heavily into the whole "Living Wage" concept, which is a political philosophy that hasn't gained nearly so much traction here.
And I won't *even* get into the "Give California back to the Mexicans" movement....
