And you’re probably owed one too… ☕️

Most of us are struggling with inflation. Getting a COLA in your Union contract is one way to help keep up!

Holding strong at Sea Mar 💛 Did you get your window sign yet?

Thank you to Sara J., Becci G., and Bailey L. for your help spreading the word!

As we shared our stories of struggle at the last bargaining session, Sea Mar Management stayed silent. We discussed the impact of our low wages; how many families are struggling to afford food; how we don’t have savings. Many of us are one emergency away from homelessness. Management can’t keep asking Sea Mar staff to choose between their job and supporting themselves/their families.

But they continue to do it anyway. Management is holding to a 3% COLA increase. We know it’s not enough, and we won’t settle.

In the words of D’Angelo, the “question ain’t do we have resources to rebuild - it’s do we have the will?”
