About the 4th collective bargaining meeting

Dear All,

First three thanks:

1. Thanks to Liliya and her carpooler who waited more than one hour so she could attend part of the meeting. Her presence and support was much appreciated.

2. Thanks to the people and organizations that helped us retain Dmitri as legal counsel.

3. Thanks to Dmitri who cleared the field of most of the hurdles and moved the negotiation forward.

Lionbridge said they would come up with a proposal on the next meeting that will be on Friday February 27 at 3.30.

Of course there is no saying what this proposal will be as they remained very critical of our $25 for everybody goal but seemed more open to some benefits. We'll see and you'll see for yourself if you can come on the 27th. I really felt that Dmitri's presence and competence made a big difference.

We still have the negotiation ahead of us, without taking anything for granted.

Think about attending the meeting on February 27th.
