Thank You

This has been a difficult round of bargaining, and we thank all of you who took the time to participate in town halls, learn about the agreement, and vote. Thank you for speaking up, showing up, and supporting each other through the last 20 months of negotiations.

A special thank you to our Local Unit Executives who helped share information and to AHS Bargaining Committee members including Megan Connolly, Sarah Dorma, Jason Soklofske, Vicki Wakulchyk, Sarah Mullin, Kelly Sherwood, Chandra Arsenault, and Brittany Fandrick who worked tirelessly to secure many of the gains in this agreement.  

And to all of our non-AHS members who patiently waited for the completion of this bargaining process, we thank-you too.
