"As negotiations continue, the Local 700 negotiating committee remains strong and committed to achieving a fair agreement. They are currently reviewing the company proposal on Health and Welfare . It is the primary goal of Local 700 to insure the ongoing stability of the fund.

Due to the depth of these negotiations and the dedication of the negotiating committee, we have entered into an extension. Negotiations are scheduled to resume on June 4th."
