Wrong Again, President Holloway – We Are NOT Making Progress on the Issues That Matter Most

April 3, 2023

Dear colleague, Once again, we are faced with a misleading “update” on labor negotiations from President Holloway, in which what he does NOT say is more instructive than what he does say.   It is disappointing that President Holloway refuses to provide engaged leadership and speak forthrightly about what IS happening at the bargaining table. …
