The unions, already pushing for better pay and benefits as contracts expire at the end of September, feel disrespected by her absence, which they say sends a damaging message. Tolbert claimed she had an unavoidable meeting with the President during the RNC and emphasized she’s not required on the negotiation team, delegating authority to others. But union leaders say they showed up ready to talk only to be told she wouldn’t attend, raising concerns about lost trust and potential brain drain to cities offering better compensation. With time running out and automatic extensions looming, both sides say they’re ready to return to the table—but this incident has added fuel to an already tense negotiation.
