Dear SHARE members,

We want to share with you the important news that management has agreed to extend negotiations about layoffs and cost-cutting for an additional week.

What does this mean for SHARE members?

The 32 SHARE employees identified for furlough/layoff will not be notified for another week;
Admin pay has been extended until May 15th;
Essential employees who are reporting to work will continue to accrue hour-for-hour comp time next week; and
SHARE members will need to vote again next week to make a final decision.

We have scheduled additional Zoom meetings so that we can come together to discuss our options and make a plan about how to move forward.

Our voices have been heard, and we will continue to engage in a constructive discussion with management, to find a solution that everyone can live with.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
