LHMWD Bargaining Team Tackles Economic Issues

During the past two bargaining sessions between the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District management and the SEIU 721 team, there has been positive progress made with some tentative agreements reached, counter proposals exchanged and contract language clarified. However, several major economic proposals still need to be negotiated.

“We’ve seen several of our bargaining goals met but we have major differences on economic issues that members feel passionate about. So the team will continue to hammer away at those proposals while reminding management of the sacrifices workers have made to keep the district in a healthy financial state
