First Transit Stanford Members met at the San Jose Hall to discuss the current contract negotiations. We discussed a variety of topics, including wage, pension, and vacation increases. We also had a deep discussion on Strike prep, grievance procedures, and the role of a shop steward. Most pressing was the importance of unity among the rank-and-file membership.
“It is of the utmost importance that we move as one unit and continue to support each other through this fight. Without unity and a common goal, our efforts will most certainly fall flat. Having a concise vision of what we are demanding is the very best way to secure what we know we deserve. I am proud of this group for standing up and indicating to the company that our terms are reasonable, attainable, and most importantly justified.” BA David Crawford
