WHAT IS A REPORTING MEETING?

A reporting meeting is a meeting of delegates from each affected local. Each Local sends a certain number of delegates, determined by the size of its membership. Usually, about 600 – 700 voting delegates attend a Reporting Meeting.

The Negotiating Committee reports at the meeting about what happened in bargaining. The report could entail (1) We have a tentative agreement, (2) We have a mediator recommendation, or (3) we have reached an impasse and will not be able to achieve any further movement without job action. The delegates then discuss and provide direction to the Negotiating Committee on the next steps, which could be to hold a ratification vote or proceed with steps necessary to have a strike vote.

Local 196 has emailed the Local 196 members chosen to attend the reporting meeting. Please check your union email and respond as soon as possible if you were selected so an alternate can be sent in your place.
