Grocery Negotiations Workshop - August 7, 2010

The Teamsters for Tomorrow are sponsoring a workshop for Local 117 members in the grocery industry. The workshop will take place on August 7, 2010 at the Teamsters Building in Tukwila from either 9am-11am. The purpose of the workshop is to learn more about the negotiations' process and build leadership and solidarity prior to upcoming bargaining in 2011. The workshop is especially designed for members who haven't been through negotiations before, but all members in the grocery industry are encouraged to attend. To RSVP for the workshop, contact Office Staff Jennifer Day by email or by phone 206-441-4860 ext. 1222. To view a flyer for the wokshop, click here.
