Ratification vote
As a union member, you will be eligible to vote on the tentative settlement. You will receive an email with your ballot containing instructions on how to vote via email at this email address. Ballots will be sent one hour after your ratification webinar begins.
Voting will close at 10:00 am ET on Sunday, September 24, 2023. Results will be made public Sunday, September 24, 2023, after the vote has closed.
