Day 2 of the contract negotiations ended at 6:15 P.M.this evening. The atmosphere remains cordial between your negotiating team and the Amentum team. Prior to beginning proposals on economic items, both teams tentatively agreed to several non-economic items. While we do have differences of opinion with some economic issues, we hope to be able to bridge them in the coming days. Both teams are scheduled to meet again tomorrow. Your negotiating team will prepare counter-proposals starting at 7:30 AM. Tune in tomorrow for a new update!
It’s 6:00 PM at the IAMAW Headquarters in Upper Marlboro, MD. Your contract bargaining committee wrapped up day 1 of negotiations with Amentum. Since 9:00 AM this morning, we have cordially engaged with the Amentum Team. Our team presented all of our proposals to Amentum, and received some proposals and counter proposals in return from Amentum. Both teams are scheduled to meet tomorrow to continue negotiations at 8:00 AM. Check back again tomorrow for a new update!
IAM representatives use Microsoft Word and Excel to help us do our jobs. While many have extensive working knowledge of these programs, others have limited, or no, experience with these programs. There are tips and shortcuts that can help complete work faster and devote more time to advocating for members directly.
With this in mind, the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center is conducting virtual basic Word and Excel trainings in June.
Word trainings will cover creating automatic populating tables of contents, headers and footers, page numbers and more. Excel trainings will cover the very basics of Excel, focusing on those who have little to no working knowledge of the program. Both classes will cover basic keyboard shortcuts that make using these and many other programs easier.
More advanced classes will follow, which will give us the tools to bargain the best contracts for our members.
