SCOPE Election

Check your mail, SCOPE members!  You should be seeing your official ballot any day.  This particular ballot is a little different than normal because it has a bylaw change to vote on at the bottom.Fill it out, seal it in the return envelope, and sign the back on the line.  Vote early and vote oft—only once!

Also, FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALY the new contract is available digitally.  The books are coming later, but we promise they won’t be outdated by the time you get them.

SCOPE Contract Extended

Dear Members,

The contract has been extended for 3 years, and we took some housekeeping language that all unions took.

An email was sent out to your home email address on June 18, 2021 that details our process and how we arrived at our decisions.

We plan on holding the vote to ratify the contract on July 8 or July 9, depending on your work location. Notification is coming via your site representative and your email.

See you soon. Scope Leadership Team
