BARGAINING REPORT #10
December 18, 2004

Talks continued in both formal and informal session throughout the day Friday and into the evening on all items on the table.  Progress continues on language items with issues of overtime, time off and medical items moving markedly slower.  Your committee is working in caucus throughout this weekend to adjust proposals and strategies to force movement and transition to economic issues.

Our next bulletin will be issued sometime Monday.

Please continue all solidarity and mobilization activities to show that you back the work of your committee.  We cannot accomplish our goals without your support!

In Solidarity,
