Our goal is to secure a contract that gives us a fairer and more equitable workplace. We consider the following planks, necessarily broad for now, as the main issues and changes that we want to our contract to address: 

• Compensation 
• Raises that keep pace with inflation and reflect the cost of living in the Upper Valley 
• Preservation and expansion of benefits, including extended support to working families 
• Uniform vacation policy for all staff 
• Posted wage and salary ranges for all positions 
• Development of remote/hybrid work policies across positions 
• Advancement 
• Establishment of a promotion structure that includes all workers 
• Clear guidelines for promotion and/or salary increases within that structure 
• Clear professional development, engagement, and training opportunities 
• Right to request job description reviews tied to bargaining contract 
• Standardized training for all staff in managerial positions 
• Transparency 
• Decision-making should include the workers that will be affected
• All workers have an understanding of the opportunities available to them (and the barriers that may exist), and have a chance to move up
• Clear standards for communication around decisions 
• A defined process for communicating and resolving grievances
