Brothers and Sisters,
I don’t have a lot to report on, but here goes. On July 1st the Northern California Glaziers went on strike. Their first offer was $12.00 over 4 years and was voted down. The second offer that was voted down was $10.00 over 3 years. Yesterday July 11th, they turned down an offer for $10.50 over $3.00 years. DC16 had asked for $14.50 over 3 years. Local 1237 voted at the July 2nd Membership Meeting to spend $500.00 to help with water and ice since the weather forecast was projected to be triple digits for the next few weeks. DC16 staff has been walking strike lines, delivering water, ice, and sports drinks. I have had many conversations on the line, and the glaziers are no different from any other trade, they know what they want and are willing to walk a strike line to get it. If you see union glaziers on your job site, they are there because of a PLA job site and we must provide manpower. If you are driving by a strike line, give a honk for solidarity.
