What's In the Legacy Meridian Park 2026 Tentative Agreement?

After months of hard work and negotiations, we are excited to announce that we have reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) on a new contract for Legacy Meridian Park Techs! This agreement reflects the dedication of our bargaining team, stewards, and members who fought for better wages, stronger protections, and a fairer workplace. Below, you'll find a summary of our biggest victories, copies of the tentative agreements themselves, and information about the upcoming ratification process, including how to get your questions answered and cast your vote on the new contract.

Here are our topline victories:
  • Daily Overtime Restored: Members whose pay plans previously included daily overtime based on their schedules (such as 8/80) will once again be eligible.
  • Wage Increases and a New Step System:
    • 2 pay periods after ratification, the new wage chart goes into effect. The wage chart will bring all employees up between 3–9%.
    • There will be ATB increases each year on April 1st and a step increase each year on your salary review date (SRD). Step increases are 2% on average.
    • ATB Nov 2026: varies by placement
    • ATB April 2027: 2% + step increase on SRD
    • ATB April 2028: 2% + step increase on SRD
    • ATB April 2029: 1% (Bridge while new contract is negotiated) and earlier contract reopener which should decrease the time between when this contract expires and our next one is negotiated

    • Ratification Bonus: 30+ years: $1,200; 20–29 years: $800; 10–19 years: $500; 1–9 years: $250.

  • Labor Management Committee Established: For the first time, LMC Techs will have a formal committee to address workplace issues with management.
  • Cath Lab Protections: Standby and short-rest practices are now protected in contract language and cannot be arbitrarily taken away.
  • Cultural Recognition Day: This holiday is now memorialized in our contract.
  • New Tuition Reimbursements: Protected ability to use tuition reimbursement for license renewal coursework.
