Update on the 2026 Inside Contract Negotiations

July 13, 2026

Negotiation for the Inside contract started July 7th, where we established the negotiations ground rules. We had a second meeting on July 9th, where we exchanged initial proposals. Nothing has been tentatively agreed to but there was good, positive communication. I will let you know more as the process continues. Our next meeting is August 4th. 

The documents containing the ground rules that we established and the contract proposals can viewed by logging in to our Online Dispatch and Dues Payment site at https://48dispatch.com/ and clicking on the Documents tab.

Thank you,
