We did it, NEASO!

The vote, which took place over 24 hours, was the first to be conducted entirely online by NEASO. The new salary scale will be in effect until March 31, 2021.

Thank you to each and every member who voted. Your visible and vocal support of our bargaining team throughout the process made all the difference,

And thank you to our dedicated and shrewd bargaining team, led by Joe Morice. He, along with President Robin McLean, Mary Alice Heretick, Andy Jewell, Stephanie Barnett, Dave Coble, Nzinga Damali-Cathie and Linda Davin, negotiated an agreement that benefits each of us.
