Negotiations between United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 400 and CommuniCare for a new contract have recently concluded.
Based on current prohibitions on gatherings and COVID-19 best practices we will be unable to conduct a traditional contract meeting. All of America is struggling with ways to address the global pandemic COVID-19. We as a union, and you as an employee on the frontline of the healthcare industry, are doing what we can to ensure safe practices to limit the outbreak and its effects.
We will conduct three Zoom Meetings (instructions for each shown below) on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, where we will present the tentative agreement which has been mailed to you. The first meeting will start at 8:00 a.m. A second Zoom meeting will start at 12:00 p.m. The last meeting will start at 4:00 p.m.
On Thursday, July 30th, we will conduct the voting on proposed changes to your contract at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Camp Springs, 5000 Mercedes Blvd, Suitland, MD 20746. This Polling Location will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the morning and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon. We encourage members to assist in the vote count promptly at 5:00 p.m.
Masks must be worn at all times during voting.
