Hello,
Following a marathon 3+ hour meeting today, Apple has announced that it has issued the fourth and final draft of the NEA. It intends to put the proposed EA to a vote on September 27th-29th. The mandated 7-day access period begins today.
Team should expect to be scheduled for information sessions over the next week.
The majority of bargaining representatives have expressed their extreme outrage and disappointment at Apple’s decision to cut off bargaining and rush to a vote.
In response, the ASU and RAFFWU are holding all team meetings to discuss their next steps and the ‘No’ vote campaign.
The ASU’s meeting is tonight at 7:30pm and all team are encouraged to join and can do so by registering here.
RAFFWU will be holding a meeting for all team at 7:30pm tomorrow, you can register here.
I encourage everyone to attend these meetings so that we are able to mount a coordinated response to Apple’s putting this EA to a vote.
A recap of today’s meeting will be posted in due course.
In solidarity,
Apple Together Australia
