Contract negotiations began on March 30 and the Negotiating Committee is taking your issues to the bargaining table. 

More than 400 members filled out our Teamster Contract Survey in just one week. The results show that members are united on our priorities for a fair contract, including:

Wage Increases - More than 70 percent of members say that wage increases as their top contract priority, including raises for members who work for substandard pay in Shenadoah.

Job Security We deserve fair treatment and job security,  Technology should be used to make our jobs more safe, not for unfair discipline. 

Healthcare Our jobs are dangerous in the best of times. For over a year, we’ve put our health on the line by working on the frontlines during the pandemic.

UNITED FOR A FAIR CONTRACT

Local 96 Teamsters have powered Washington Gas through the worst pandemic in a century. We are frontline essential workers and we will stand together for the contract we deserve. 

More than 85% of members said they are ready to take united action to win a fair contract. We are not going to be low-balled or disrespected.

NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN

Today was the first day of contract negotiations. Negotiations will focus first on contract language and working conditions before we start bargaining over economic issues, like raises and benefits. 

Throughout negotiations, we will keep you informed on our website and by text.
