Negotiation Process

What Happens During the Negotiations Process?

Solar and the IAM meet to negotiate in good faith over wages, benefits and other working conditions. Each side identifies their issues and concerns and shares their perspectives and proposed solutions.

The goal is to find solutions that are acceptable to both Solar and the IAM and that positions Solar, its employees and facilities to compete and succeed long into the future.

If an agreement is reached by the negotiation teams, then that tentative agreement must be ratified by a vote of dues-paying
members. If an agreement is not reached, the union may elect to call a strike.

We aim to reach an agreement that positions Solar, our facilities and our employees
to compete, meet customer commitments and succeed long into the future.
