Tentative bargaining agreement signed in Pittsburgh

 Kim Lyons reports on July 23 in The Verge. No details yet about the paid leaves negotiated. Let us hope their story does not end like our did after the bargaining agreement was signed. The ratification vote is scheduled for July 30. I wonder how the PTO negotiated compares with Microsoft's requirements for their suppliers.

I found out just now the agreement was ratified today, July 29. See the USW press release. Here is the text of the agreement (PDF), provided by USW (Thank you). It looks like they got 15 days PTO, 12 paid holidays and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. 

All our best wishes!

Microsoft's minimal requirements for PTO and paid parental leave:

April 2015, at least 15 days of PTO 

August 2018, minimum of 12 weeks of paid parental leave
