Negotiations Update: Spectrum Moves Backwards


spectrum negotiations
Winsted, CT—In negotiations last night, Spectrum showed their true colors by presenting a new proposal that moves backwards from their last position prior to the strike.

“We came here prepared to settle a fair contract,” Vice President Almena Thompson told the sixty-plus Spectrum strikers packing the conference room at Northwestern CT Community College in Winsted. “Instead, we got insulting new demands even more unacceptable than before. And they don’t even have the courage to face us.”
