When Will the Court Withdraw Their Offensive Concessionary Proposals?
Bargaining Update for Dec. 14, 2021
“We’re making some progress at the bargaining table,” says Chapter President Kasha Clarke, “But we still have a long way to go.”
After more rounds of meetings, the Court still has not withdrawn any of their insulting concessionary proposals, which would take away things our members need, like binding arbitration, the ability to request transfers, the soft vacation cap, our ability to go on sympathy strike to support other working people fighting for their rights, and even our ability to take unpaid leave time instead of using all our sick time.
Delays, Disrespect, & Disappointment
Bargaining Update for Dec. 1, 2021
Your elected bargaining team has met multiple times with management: the court reporters six times and the general unit five times. Our team has made common-sense proposals that will improve wages and working conditions and expand our ability to fulfill the Court’s mission of bringing justice to the community. Management’s response has been completely inadequate, including multiple attacks on our union rights.
So far, management’s proposals include:

Advocating for Justice in Our Courts
This spring court workers flooded the halls of our state capital to advocate for those seeking justice.
As court workers and advocates for our communities, we know access to justice is directly tied to income. In the trial court system, when court reporters are not provided, only the wealthy can afford to hire a reporter. Low-income workers, juggling multiple jobs, are unable access justice due to restricted public hours and closed facilities. People who cannot afford money bail often sit awaiting a court date resulting in a loss of income to their household.
