Welcome to our Equal Pay for Equal Work Petition Form. This petition calls for MEA to abide by union values and treat its employees with the same respect and fairness that we demand on behalf of our MEA members.
We have been bargaining in good faith for almost a year with MEA for fair wages. The employer has failed to engage in good-faith bargaining. We are demanding equal pay for equal work like our sister union MEDA.
It has been an established practice for over 20+ years that the MEA administration receives the same negotiated wages as the staff unions. Furthermore, the MEA leadership and its administration have always received the same compensation negotiated by the staff unions once all contracts have been settled. Not this time. In fact, MEA leadership and management decided to give itself the terms of a proposal that our PSA bargaining team submitted that was equal to a tentative agreement between MEDA (our sister union) and MEA. As an added insult to injury, MEA leadership and management compensation was significantly higher than the terms recently negotiated with our sister union MEDA. This flies in the face of union values and principles by an employer union that is supposed to fight for fundamental fairness and respect.
