UNITY Podcast – Episode 2

Dear Local 2118 Members,

I recently had the privilege of sitting down for my second podcast with our Negotiating Committee. Over the course of the discussion, I asked many of the questions that have been circulating among our pilot group — gathered from the chat boards, conversations, and direct polling.

This conversation reminded me just how much dedication and skill this committee brings to the table. Negotiating on behalf of our group is often a thankless job, yet they approach it with professionalism, unity, and a shared vision. In fact, during our discussion, it was clear how seamlessly they work together — often finishing each other’s thoughts — and how committed they are to securing the best possible contract for all of us.

This podcast gave me confidence that we have the right team representing us in negotiations. But their success depends on our solidarity. We must stand behind them, speak with one voice, and remain united in our shared goals.

I encourage you to listen to the full conversation linked above and hear directly from the team working tirelessly on our behalf.

In Unity,

Captain Rob Skiles
Chairman, Communications Committee
