Bargaining is scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. The OPEIU bargaining team has passed all their proposals to management. We have received some counters on those proposals. However, we have not received any economic proposals or counter offers from management. In fact, they have outright refused to provide those proposals to us. This is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act, and OPEIU has filed unfair labor practice charges against Sandia in response. We are hopeful that Sandia will come to the table this week and bargain in good faith, which up to this point they have not done.
