We Need Notetakers.  We Need You.

The Union's Negotiations Team needs one more notetaker for their CBA negotiations meetings with management, every other Tuesday from 3 PM - 5 PM EST.  You don't have to do it every time.  You can do it on a rotational basis.  Contact:   Trina Van Schyndel [email protected]
