Guild Bargaining Committee members will conduct seven informational sessions to answer questions on the proposed new contract leading up to Thursday’s ratification vote.

Contract briefings will be held at noon and 6 p.m. Monday and at noon and 6 p.m. Tuesday, all in the Deck View Conference Room on the 4th floor downtown; noon Monday in the Waukesha Bureau; and at noon and 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Training Center on the 2nd floor downtown.

That may be the most informational sessions we’ve ever held before a contract vote, but if you can’t make any of them, please contact committee members Larry Sandler, Amy Rinard, Dave Kirner or Janine Ghelfi with your questions.

Guild members can cast their ballots in the Grant Library downtown from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. Absentee ballots are being distributed to bureau workers and to any member who won’t be around on election day; contact election committee chair Bob Helbig ASAP if you need an absentee ballot.
