We will be picketing at Chapel of the Chimes Cemetery on Saturday, September 7, 2013Estaremos piquetes en Chapel of the Chimes Cemetery en Sábado, 07 de Septiembre

On Saturday, September 7th we will be picketing at Chapel of the Chimes Cemetery in Hayward to demonstrate our displeasure with the latest contract proposal by the employer.

Local 265 Picket 01

We want a fair and just contract! The employer has made a terrible offer in their latest contract proposal. The cemetery workers at Chapel of the Chimes have been working in good faith while bargaining for a fair contract. The employer keeps taking away, offering less and less, which would cost the workers more in health insurance expenses and payroll taxes, resulting in a net loss of pay and benefits compared to their past earnings. This means that they would earn less, and would have to pay more in expenses out of their take-home pay for the same benefits they have always earned. Meanwhile, even in the face of these bad proposals, the workers continue to provide their valuable and loyal service to the community at a time they need it the most, for funeral arrangements and burials.

We rely on your support for our cemetery workers. Please call the cemetery at (510) 471-3363 and tell them that the cemetery workers deserve a fair and just contract.

Whether you are a visitor, or a union member, please come to support your brothers and sisters in labor by joining our picket line from 10am-1pm on Saturday September 7 at Chapel of the Chimes, 32992 Mission Blvd Hayward, CA 94544.
