Card Kingdom - Defending our contract

Card Kingdom
Defending our contract

Our Labor Management Committee: Hans B. (Production), Rune S. (Shipping), Alex F. (Production)

Members on our Labor Management Committee (LMC) has been working hard to finalize the language a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Card Kingdom regarding forced use of PTO and our grievance department is continuing to fight through our wage grievance.

Here is an update on both:

PTO

We met with Card Kingdom Management again on December 13 to continue negotiations regarding forced use of PTO and how it relates to the unsatisfactory attendance section of your contract. LMC members proposed language that would protect our contractual rights and make sure no one is disciplined for missed time covered by PTO or make-up time.

Our LMC and Card Kingdom are not far apart on this agreement and we hope to have a MOU to vote on in the beginning of 2024.

WAGES

We have made clear that the Employer has a gross misinterpretation of Article 21 Wages. We have filed a grievance and after two grievance meetings, we are still in disagreement with the Employer. We will now be moving to arbitration to settle this grievance. If you believe you’re having any issues with your wages, please reach out to your Union Rep Dominick Ojeda @ 206-436-6586.
